That GP was utterly dull. 9 times out of 10 it is in Barcelona. They should either stop testing there, or drop that circuit. It's hideously boring (though I did love going there one time).
The thing is he doesn't even care or seemingly love the game. The only thing that gives others a chance really.
I don't agree that he doesn't care or love the game - he's struggled over the years mentally but come back and is still the greatest. I think he needs a rival to push him to the limit, as he makes it look so easy and the other players seem to fall short. On his day, he's unplayable - long may he continue.
FAO LTL . Williams Racing is acquired by Dorilton Capital Tweet Share on Facebook Share on LinkedIn 21 Aug 2020 NEW ERA SECURES LONG-TERM FUTURE OF THE F1 TEAM AND PAVES THE WAY FOR RENEWED COMPETITIVENESS Friday 21st August 2020, Grove. Williams Racing has been acquired by Dorilton Capital, bringing a successful conclusion to the Strategic Review which was launched in late May. Dorilton Capital is known for its long-term approach to investment and its key focus will be to restore the competitiveness of the team. This marks the beginning of an exciting new era in the history of Williams, which with its new owner, is now well positioned to capitalise upon the sweeping rule changes coming into Formula One with the new Concorde Agreement. As part of the Strategic Review, Williams together with the Group’s financial advisers, conducted a comprehensive review of all the options available to the Company, which included exploratory discussions with a series of potential investors. This strategic review has now successfully concluded and the Company is pleased to announce the sale of Williams Racing to Dorilton Capital. This Transaction received the unanimous support of the Board of Williams, including Sir Frank, who determined the Transaction delivers the best outcome for the Company’s shareholders and secures the long-term success of the Williams Formula 1 team. Dorilton Capital is a private investment firm headquartered in the United States with a strong track-record of building and enhancing companies with a flexible and patient investment style. Dorilton recognises and appreciates the importance of respecting and retaining Williams’ heritage and culture and is committed to maintaining its identity. The team will continue to race and compete under the Williams brand, with the chassis name remaining unchanged. Dorilton has no plans to re-locate the team from Grove, its traditional home. The new Concorde Agreement is set to transform the sport and will help address the historical challenges that Williams has faced as an independent constructor, by reducing the financial and on-track disparities between teams and creating a fairer, more competitive sport. The new changes present an exciting opportunity for Williams, which together with the new ownership, will secure the long-term future of Williams at the pinnacle of motorsport. Claire Williams, Deputy Team Principal, commented: “The Strategic Review was a useful process to go through and proved that both Formula One and Williams have credibility and value. We have now reached a conclusion and we are delighted that Dorilton are the new owners of the team. When we started this process, we wanted to find a partner who shared the same passion and values, who recognised the team’s potential and who could unlock its power. In Dorilton we know we have found exactly that. People who understand the sport and what it takes to be successful. People who respect the team’s legacy and will do everything to ensure it succeeds in the future.As a family we have always put our team first. Making the team successful again and protecting our people has been at the heart of this process from start. This may be the end of an era for Williams as a family owned team, but we know it is in good hands. The sale ensures the team’s survival but most importantly will provide a path to success. We are enormously grateful to Dorilton for the faith they have shown in our team and we look forward to working with them now. I would also like to thank the Williams Board and our advisers who have worked tirelessly over the past months to make this happen and our employees who have remained steadfastly loyal.” Mike O’Driscoll, CEO of Williams, commented: “The transaction announced today marks the next stage in the history of Williams Formula 1 at an exciting time in the sport. The Company has successfully completed its strategic review and we are pleased to announce the sale to Dorilton Capital, which delivers a great outcome for shareholders and secures the long term future of the Company.” Matthew Savage, Chairman of Dorilton Capital, commented: “We are delighted to have invested in Williams and we are extremely excited by the prospects for the business. We believe we are the ideal partner for the company due to our flexible and patient investment style, which will allow the team to focus on its objective of returning to the front of the grid. We look forward to working with the Williams team in carrying out a detailed review of the business to determine in which areas new investment should be directed. We also recognise the world class facilities at Grove and confirm that there are no plans to relocate.”
Takuma Sato wins the Indy 500 for the second time. Nice result for a lovely guy. Feel for Scott Dixon who otherwise dominated, came second in the end.
Cameron Norrie fights back from 2 sets down to beat 9th seed Diego Schwartzman in the 1st round of the US Open!
Also incredible mindset. Given everything he's achieved and how far he's dropped since then, to have the determination to fight back in a Round 1 match like this is fantastic. Given what he's capable of, he is a nightmare draw for any seeded player who would be hoping for a nice easy couple of matches early on
I feel.Murray has more natural talent than either Djokovic or Nadal. His mindset though let him down in his battles.with those two. The other great talent is Richard Gasquet who a few years ago was wiping the floor with Murray at Wimbledon but completely lost his nerve in the third set as Murray whipped up the emotions of the Centre Court crowd to win in five..
Murray has struggled with injuries all his career....as a young man he had tendon surgery in his feet....hence the supports he always wears. His hip problems occurred when he could have consolidated his position as world number one. Look at what he has achieved and think how much more he could have done if he stayed fit.
