It's sad to see what's happening at Williams at the moment and like you say if they had one experienced driver alongside one of the current young lads I'm convinced they would be a bit bette off.
Still very much in danger of being left behind in F1 though.
There's been talk in recent weeks of them moving towards a technical partnership with Mercedes not too dissimilar to the Haas-Ferrari one. That would be an equally sad state of affairs that would tell us as much about the state of f1 as it would for Williams themselves. Hopefully it doesn't come to that.
I've always thought it would be fantastic if they could forge an exclusive technical partnership with a major manufacturer like they did with BMW in 2000 and McLaren once had with Mercedes (and of course failed miserably with Honda!). But of course, the prospect of new manufacturers coming into the sport is dependent upon how accessible and cost effective the sport will be after the big regulation overhaul in 2021, something that you feel Ferrari and Mercedes will do their best to thwart. I think that would be the most likely path for them to get back to the front of the grid.
