22 let is from when they are Jacques Villeneuve and Williams together stood at the top of Formula 1. This success has been shared by both sides ever since they couldn't more connect. In Villeneuve don't bother with criticism at the expense of his former team. This time because for him budget ceiling, which enters into force in 2021 and will initially be recalculated 158 million euros, anything but correct.
For an officer Journal of Montreal is Villeneuve loud critical do Williams and the budget ceiling in Formula 1. "What does this mean to help smaller teams that don’t deserve it? Does an organization like Williams have the right to be as fast as Mercedes or Ferrari? The answer is only one: No!"It simply came to our notice then Williams years ago maneuvered on sports sidet and it doesn’t belong to the team to get help, based on the new policy. “Let’s be honest: Williams doesn’t race in the same league at all. In my eyes, this is pure socialism. Formula 1 deserves something better."
With the introduction budget ceilings will not be for Williams nothing changed, Villeneuve believes and explains: "Williams won last place last year, but they still put a good 14 million euros in their pockets. The management and co-owners are satisfied. Only top teams will spend that $ 158 million. And even if the budget ceiling was 45 million euros, Williams would simply spend only 20 million and stay last,” he says Villeneuve and marks this situation as big joke, and adds that no one wins here.
Pri Williams but they see it somewhat differently. Team boss Claire Williams welcomed the new rules - including the budget ceiling - and said: "This is the package of rules we wanted to see. This is how Formula 1 must be, because only in this way can teams like us remain able to perform.”However, Williams writes red numbers, as they recorded for the first half of this season a loss of 18,8 million euros, and turnover also fell. Of course, this is also a consequence worse performances over the years.
