Last race they retired Kubica because they didn't have enough spares for Japan. Williams !!! The drivers are saying nothing but hinting there's deep issues (lack of $$) in the team.
They're dead last despite a good engine, nowhere near fighting other Mercedes customers, top engineers/managers have left or been dismissed, I can't imagine them still being in F1 in 2021, maybe not even next year... (and I still don't understand how Maldonado scored that one win, otherwise it'd be even longer since the good old days). I'm curious how Robert might have done in a decent car, his team mate by all accounts is very good - but you cannot tell in a car 2.5 sec slow... Apparently KUB is going to HAAS as a test driver and hopefully to help solve their engineering/development woes.

Can only say good things about Williams, my first client for nearly 3 yrs, they're my kind of people
and some are very good friends which makes it especially sad for me to read about their woes
F1 is a cruel game, on track nostalgia/past success count for nothing and it punishes mediocrity ruthlessly by purging the grid of teams not keeping up. Williams is still the 2nd most successful F1 team
Big changes coming to F1 which should help the smaller teams, I'm sure I'm not alone in hoping they can hang on until then
