RUBENS BARRCICHELLO: WILLIAMS 'biggest mistake is paid racers

Former Formula 1 driver Rubens Barrichello is convinced that Williams often made the wrong decision when choosing riders, and in his opinion, paid racers caused the team to fall.

Rubens Barrichello is a team Williams criticized for choice of racers in recent years and in wrong decisions he sees an important reason why the team has fallen so low in recent years. Brazilian he ended his career right with Williams and that years 2011, but since then it has only gone downhill - with the exception of a small climb that happened in between.

"Unfortunately, it's often been about money over the last ten years,”Is in the podcast Rusty's Garage said Barrichello. "Instead of paying the racer, they were of the opinion that it is a good idea if they get some money to survive. But if we look at where Williams is at the time, then we see that they made the wrong decisions at the time."

Rubens Barrichello is convinced that Williams, with paid racers, has taken care of his own fall, which the Grove team has been recording in recent years.

Excluding successful time with Valtteri Bottas in Felipe Massa, the traditional team has always fought for a connection over the years. Racers like you Pastor Maldonado with Venezuela 's state oil million or Bruno senna they brought money to the team, but not sports added value.

The racers who bring money to the team are fast, but they are too inexperienced in terms of further development of the car, which is why there is no progress.

Also Lance stroll in Sergei Sirotkin they finally took care of some more money at the team box office, but they weren’t convinced in the sports field. In addition, they were considered Barrichella an additional drawback: Both were young and inexperienced, as is the case in the 2020 season at George Russell and Nto icholas Latifi. One of them is a rookie and the other can boast of a one-season experience Formula 1. If popular were to decide Rubinho, then I would always hire one experienced racer to further develop the car.

Even their last racing connection is, in terms of experience, anything but useful for raising the team's form.

"Two young racers can do business in terms of speed,” he says Barrichello, but given the limited testing options, we would need someone to make the decisions. “This is where the problem comes from. Then you only follow telemetry. And this one doesn’t always offer the right answer. The right answer is offered by the racer.”And this is not about one, but one hundred answers. There are many factors on the test that need to be considered, which is why Barrichello doubts that young racers understand this at all.
