I think few up or down the pit lane would not agree that Williams, with a good manufacturer behind them, represents a serious threat.

I understand what you are saying, but since I am still a Newbie on this forum, I have to tread lightly for awhile before I can start writing my full opinion in posts. In general, (this is not directed at any one particular team) old skool outfits will find it hard to survive in the new F1 world where money and resources are needed to squeeze every ounce of performance out of a car. The aero package accounts for quite a few ounces of performance. Ron knew the importance of money and resources a long time ago. Other teams were slower to realize. They paid or are paying for their mistakes.
