Sports boss Formula 1 believes in the solution of the team Williams, as some serious interested parties have already shown their willingness to buy a team from the town Whole grainedfor sale. “I think that shows that there is a serious model behind it that could lead to a purchase," so Brown for colleagues from Motorsport-Total.com.

News of possible selling a traditional team given the financial difficulties and the coronavirus crisis, they are not surprising. Also other teams like it Renault, were on the verge of collapse, but also thanks to new rules around budget ceilings, they were able to save themselves departure from Formula 1, so Brawn. It will now be necessary to see how it will proceed with Williams. The Briton always looks at the team with one eye as he has his career Formula 1 started right with them. “This is a team with a fantastic history. However, the reality of Formula 1 is really brutal. Every two weeks you are measured by the results on the track."

You can’t hide here and if you are, just like Williams, twice on last place in the championship, then you face the consequences. “Unfortunately, they have now landed at this point. Anyone coming in now needs to look at the underlying reasons why they haven’t been successful lately. Whether it’s just the finances, the structure, or the approach chosen. I really don't know that."It simply came to our notice then. “In any case, someone has to come and understand what is going on," so Brown.

McLaren is in a similar position

He is in a similar situation as well McLaren. Even this traditional team has had a hard time and had to pay coronavirus crisis tax and lay off many employees. However, in doing so formula 1 does not bear guilt. “Both teams were pretty weak. If McLaren had won the title and was in that position now, then we could say that a lot is going wrong in Formula 1. But in reality, McLaren has been pretty bad for many years and Formula 1 is just a brutal sport,He added Brown.

In a similar situation to Williams is McLaren, who recently had to lay off a huge number of employees. Brawn says in both cases, the teams pay the price for poorer performances on the track.

"If you perform at that level for many years, then you pay the price for it. You lose sponsors, you don’t get the cash prizes you’re used to, and it all becomes a vicious circle. If it were a brilliant team that had to abruptly stop engaging in Formula 1, then we would have to look at what we are doing wrong. But now we’re looking at two teams that have stayed below their capabilities for years," Ends Brown.
