She comes across like an absolute superstar 🙌

She was an idiot and her father would be ashamed of her. She ran Williams into the ground no one else. She also did it in record time. Watching her on a bailiff TV program in the UK was hilarious. The racing world is better off without her.

She's a very impressive strong woman. The emotions with her father's legacy, Covid times and juggling so many parts to come to a sale of her family's brand. Brilliant!

How is she brilliant when the team ended up getting sold?

Absolutely, it's fascinating to see 🙌

After how she shafted her brother Jonathan...she rightly should feel haunted....👎👎👎

@@_Ben4810 that a strong statement Ben, explanation?

@@_Ben4810 Her father made a correct judgement about who was more suitable. She took her chance…obviously.

🙌🙌

What leadership. They built one good car in 2014 and then fell backwards every season there after

@jacobmassey3897 better than Frank did for years.....

Lawrence Stroll cleaning her out didn’t help at all.

She’s simply not cut out to be a team boss. It puzzles me how Sir Frank has two sons, yet his only daughter was the one who took interest in running his F1 squad.

And nothing to do with box ticking feminist appeasing quotas. Huge respect for what she did. 😎

Absolutely, it must be an incredibly hard decision to make 🙌

Absolutely correct 🙌

Jog on

It's pretty tough when in F1 🙌

The only independent team that has ever had big-team levels of money is Red Bull.

Red Bull weren’t around in those days though, (the really big teams then were Williams, McLaren and Ferrari)

@@philtucker1224 I never said they were around back then. I said the only independent team that has ever had "big team money" is RBR. All the other independent teams (including, but certainly far from limited to, Williams and McLaren) have had regular problems with lack of funds.

@@philtucker1224 Never said they were around back then. Said they've been the only independent team that has ever had "big-team levels of money." Every other indepdendent team has suffered regularly from not having enough money.

🙌🙌

Absolutely, she's amazing 🙌

She should go do something in the Academy women series. She’d be really helpful in progressing it

I've missed her too 🙌

​@TheRacingPilot Why?

Absolutely, she is a great human being 🙌

Probably a genuinely nice human, but by no means a great team principal

Absolutely, she opened up incredibly well 🙌

You can't buy experience, be it good ones or bad ones... A panel of ex team bosses would be a really good Idea, particularly from when money was not king in F1 but knowledge was to be on hand to advise if things (like they do) get stupid or out of hand like they occasionaly do now.

Absolutely, it would be brilliant 🙌

Not exactly true. Newey left in the late 90s to go to McLaren but Williams had a front running, race winning and nearly championship challenging car from 2001 to 2004 when Ralf Schumacher and Juan Pablo Montoya were driving for the team.

Absolutely, it was an impossible task 🙌

Rumour has it Mr Newey may be making a return, that would liven things up a bit.

She employed the guy who messed up the car no one else, she kept him on even as it was failing she defended him as it went down in flames. She destroyed the teams car and finances over a deal that should never have been done. Learn facts it was all on her.

Not at all. They had the best car in 2003.

Yes and no. Momey rules nearly everything in that sport and unlike rbr and merc, claire didn't have bottomless pockets.

@@BobbyGeneric145 I agree but she couldn't attract sponsorship and that was what sunk them in the end.

@@pato10111 not really her job. Team principle might be the final handshake, but f1 teams have entire departments dedicated to sponsor acquisition.

@@BobbyGeneric145 she was the owner and TP. Everything is her job.

@@pato10111 ya i suppose thats right... Buck stops kinda deal. Although in some cases, like mclaren, I get the sense that the tp does a lot less.

Absolutely, the heritage remains 🙌

and thats why youre not a billonaire cuz youd lose it all on failures like Claire Williams

Thanks for your comment. We obviously have different values in life. And that’s fine. Have a great day.

Love that! 🙌

What an incredible family 🙌

It's a special interview 🙌

Absolutely, tough job at a tough time!

Absolutely, massive respect to her 🙌

Absolutely, I would love to see her as a pundit 🙌

It's an incredibly hard job 🙌

🙌🙌

Love this! 🙌

Also she destroyed Williams due to incompetence

Absolutely, can't wait to see what she does next 🙌

🙌🙌

It is sad to see, but much better than them not being around at all 🙌

Absolutely! 🙌

Absolutely!

🙌🙌

🙌🙌

I think those were times of the past, it's a new dawn! 🙌

They spent a lot of time dealing with Frank's poor decision making. Once he had driven enough quality team members, drivers and partners away the team had nothing.

Absolutely, it was sadly necessary 🙌

What? Selling what her father spent 40 years to build because she was incompetent

🙌🙌

🙌🙌

"Getting a fair shake?" Are you for real?

No, she won't.

Absolutely 🙌

🙌🙌

She was dealt an incredibly hard hand however

🙌🙌

Could definitely be said 🙌

Hass also has the backing of a massive business and all there contacts

@@neiltitmus9744 - HAAS doesn't have the F1 know-how. HAAS entered F1 in the costliest times of F1. Sure they're a backmarker team, but so was Williams.

I would argue that's probably correct, F1 is a fast adapting sport 🙌

🙌🙌

Stop talking your PC nonsense.

Absolutely 🙌

It's a sad but brave thing to come to terms with 🙌

@@TheRacingPilot SHe got one thing right. Spot on.,

@TheRacingPilot Good for her that so many are willing to join her in her fantasy world but the reality is she has imposter syndrome, she was briefly exposed and now she's right back in it with your h elp and support.

@@rqdtv "imposter syndrome", just perfect summary

Love this 🙌

It really does 😔

I would agree with that, I felt they had so much pride

​@TheRacingPilot and where did that pride get them lol. They were foolish and her ego was the size of the universe. Should have been more humble.

I know right!

Managing teams is managing people. Being a HR boss doesn't mean you're too soft. It means you're trying to extract the best performance out of he resource available. Carrot and stick.It doesn't matter what industry you're in, If it's competitive and has a high failure rate then some companies teams will fall by the wayside. Eddie Jordan failed harder than Williams did, in the Sense that Jordan as a brand doesn't exist, Williams as a brand and team still does. Sure her dad started that but she didn't do what Eddie did. There is no Jordon team now.. I met someone that knew Horner. he thought Horner was a joke, not a tough man. That's not to say that C Williams couldn't have done something different and achieved more success but 99% of people in her position would have also had to sold the team eventually. She admitted that she prob kept staff on for too long but that's not necessarily because she was afraid of letting them go. It just means that for her the positives in keeping them outweighed the negatives at the time. She may have been too soft (she doesn't have the alpha aura in interviews of only accepting 100% and focussing only on winning), but I dont think its for the reasons you mention,

TBF, the damage was already done. Based on what has come to light in the last 12 months, Williams had fallen 20+ years behind every other current F1 Team: 1. That ridiculous Excel spreadsheet that James Vowell's recently talked about i.e. using a spreadsheet to manage parts (stock) levels and lead times for manufacturing (no wonder the last cars have been late for the last few years) 2. Manufacturing facilities that have barely changed since the 90s 3. WTF were they thinking bringing in Paddy Lowe 🤦‍♂ 4. CFD and simulation tools that once again were so far out of date it's really not funny 5. When I 1st got into F1 in the early 90s I loved Williams but the way they treated certain people, left a lot to be desired and smacked of arrogance (you can get away with this when you're the dominant force but once that's no longer the case, you've got a whole load of people that are entirely disinterested in helping you out)

I mean she's a female so it's expected lol

Nonsense.

Her father is a legend.

Very true...
