Maybe the Captain can opine on what it would take for Williams to ascend to the throne again. But one thing for sure is they need Latifi gone, which is happening so that's a plus

Good question 🤔
Have a real soft spot for the Williams when it was under Williams ownership. The company culture was genuinely built on a 'everyone is part of the family' foundations.
From my experience I think the team on their own under the current owner is in an extremely weak position for the long climb back to the top
If Porsche partner up with them this will only accelerate their ascent but for many reasons I think Porsche will enjoy any success sooner by going it alone.
Same as Redbull will, by going it alone without Porsche ie having 100% control of their own destiny from a fresh start
The whole Audi and Porsche entering F1 I find the most confusing is that the two companies appear to have no intention of sharing a common engine/drive train. Its plain to see the loss of performance this approach is causing Alpine. Without the engine failures they've had 4th in the constructors would be theirs races ago.
Sincerely hope Williams rises back to the top because as a team they've achieved monumental past success but unfortunately F1 is a brutal sport as past results count for nothing when chasing championships
Look back to how many years have passed since Ferrari or McLaren won a championship, which was many, many years ago
