Williams have signed up for the 2010 season with the FIA. Because of this the FOTA have suspended Williams from FOTA. This is no doubt a political move to keep the teams other smaller teams in line and show their strength against the FIA.
Frank Williams had this to say: “FOTA’s decision, although regrettable, is understandable. However, as a racing team and a company whose only business is Formula 1, with obligations to our partners and our employees, submitting our entry to next year’s championship was unquestionable. In addition, we are legally obliged under our contract with FOM and the FIA to participate in the world championship until the end of 2012”
Personally I feel sorry for Williams, they have to cement their position in Formula One. As a small team which relies entirely on sponsorship and running on a limited budget Williams need stability more than anyone. Rumours have been about for the last few seasons they were going to be bought out. At least they’ve safeguarded another season in Formula One by signing with the FIA.
