can you believe that we have not pushed our heads in the sand. We know where we are and what we need to do to win, but it is a long process. We try to produce independently as many parts as possible, and we have 620 employees, which is quite a lot of thought to the structure in which we operate. We have now to create the future of Williams but maintained in the same culture.
Money’s tight

Williams ‘ speeches mean that Schumacher was criticised at least partly right. Schumacher’s garage has been led the wrong way, and the workers have thus obtained the best from.
