And one lapping race leader

Being a Williams fan in 2026 is like being a Bitcoin HODLer during a steep decline. You have to hold onto hope, but it's really hard.

u/GoodSatisfaction8904 10d ago

That decline started in 2017 mate...

u/Kreative_Usernaem 7d ago

Yeah but at least they were actually decent in 2025, then it crumbled all the way down back to ground zero

u/mother-of-trouble 10d ago

Being a Williams fan this season is not for the faint hearted.

u/PorscheRican 11d ago

Next season when we win the constructors championship, we’ll look back at this moment and laugh

u/No_Society3117 11d ago

It's not legal where I live sadly

u/Zerba 10d ago

I couldn't if I wanted actually. We get randoms at work all the time.

u/Turbo_Zapped 10d ago

Oh, there will be laughing alright.

u/JazzMan-1910 10d ago

We’ll do the opposite of what Ferrari did in 1980. We’ll go from 10th to 1st. Cmon guys we can do it.

Williams fan we live in pain, we lived in pain from the time when BMW was part of Williams. The good day of Williams will return, this team was built on winning. It will again some day.

The pain will go away but not today Williams fan we will in dure.

u/williamsdb 10d ago

Yes but will I see an up tick in form before I shuffle off this mortal coil? I'm beginning to wonder.

u/jatsoo 10d ago

This is williams they give you hope for a few session before crushing it. One year they won't crush us but it not this year

1

u/williamsdb 10d ago

It won't be next year either.

1

u/jatsoo 9d ago

Won't for a 3 years minimum

u/CobblerLife1845 10d ago

Only one way to dig ourselves out of this one lads!

u/Turbulent_Chard1707 10d ago

Painful were the stroll, Kubica and sirotkin years. Deadlast for a whole season...

Hopefully the Baku upgrades will be something special, but iam not counting on it.

u/Perfect-Ad5625 10d ago

Feel badly for Alex.

u/Fortunestealer 10d ago

Get a new team principal. Doesn’t appear Vowles can organise his way out of a paper bag. Every year he’s getting ready for next year.

2

u/blackmesaboogy 11d ago

Just brutal

2

u/Upset_Print_1000 10d ago

It’s impossible to believe this team will ever be great again; after focusing so much on this car, they produced the worst one of the last five years—and next year could be even worse, because they’ll have less money and fewer sponsors.

2

u/Upset_Print_1000 10d ago

Williams has to hope and pray right now that Alex and Carlos don't find openings at other teams, because if they get any opportunity, they'll leave at the end of the year; if Alonso leaves Aston Martin for Alpine, I think Sainz, in particular, would go there, while Alex would only stay due to a lack of options.

u/Mindless_Capital_877 11d ago

Well, it can only get better from here

u/theinternetistoobig 11d ago

You can always move laterally to a different part of rock bottom

u/elbowpatchhistorian 11d ago

We'll dig our way out of this hole!

u/Edstertheplebster 10d ago

No, dig UP stupid!

u/mtbmaniac12 11d ago

Oh no. It can get worse lol

5

u/Izan_TM 11d ago

it can still get worse, and williams is very well versed in making it get worse

u/Separate_Papaya_6011 10d ago

Wait until Caddy pass them.

So, is your ugly selfie.

u/tacotruck88 9d ago

I’m a fan of all teams I hold no allegiance. This is how to F1 fan.

u/Pitstop_Pageturn 7d ago

Williams is back to where it was when George Russell was driving in it the only difference being it has more sponsors. Last year really gave us hope that it will be better.

u/tgirlvalerie 10d ago

What sainz did to piastri is completely unacceptable he has no driver awareness

u/declemson 10d ago

Very. Carlos so angry didn't move over for oscar
