Yup it would be hard for them to keep even 5th place...

oh i love the unpredictably of the new season,
seeing all the cars and predicting where they will place.
but Most of the teams have such strong drivers.
Red Bull=Mark Webber.
Ferrari=Raikkonen.
BMW=Heidfeld.
Renault=Alonso
Williams=Rosberg
Toyota=Trulli
STR=Vettel
Honda=Button
SUPER AGURI=SATO
FORCE INDIA=FISICHELLA
and Mclaren=H???????
so this upcoming season the driver in the second seat has a unbelieveable role to play to keep up to their teammates and score those points, and I think that Williams dont really have the debth there and they may lose alot of points during the season and instead of capitilising on Renault when Piquet most likely does the same thing.
Maybe a Anthony Davidson would have been a better bet For williams (Both being Pommies) and also Williams getting Honda engines with Super Aguri getting Toyota engines and getting KAZUKI NAKAJIMA (Both being Japanese)...
I like my way of thinking.
But Kazuki has a very important role to play in that Midfield or upper Midfield, and I just hope he realises the importance of this Race drive.

He seemed to have the pace in Brazil but lacked a bit of racecraft. He could surprise this year.
Nakajima did set the 5th fastest lap in Brazil, faster than Nico Rosberg and Fernando. I think he has the speed but I agree with you his racecraft is lacking. Could well turn out to be the fastest Japanese driver ever watch out Taku!!!

Williams look strong, with Nakajima it's difficult to say, definately has the raw pace to challenge Rosberg in my opinion, hopefully he'll learn all the other stuff (where Nico is also so strong).
Hopefully as the season progresses he'll be a strong force for Williams, they have produced what seems to be a good car, and deserve two good drivers.

I think Kazuki is the Most Important driver in that Mid grid next year believe it or not.
Because in the Constructors title next year I am expecting it to be very close in the points between 3rd in the constructors to about 9th, sounds like a huge middle order I know but Kazuki holds I think a pretty big key to Williams either finishing 3rd or 9th.
Sounds Rudiculas I know but Kazuki has shown in Brazil that he has the raw pace on Race day (and his not scared to have a go at Passing), but he also has to show it in Qualifying too which is something he didn't show in that qualifying session, regaurdless of Traffic, you have to get the job done.
Williams Lost Alexander Wurz to Honda which will hurt Kazuki No end-because Nico the Halk is the development driver there next year and he is similar to Kazuki, his quick but his inexperience in the testing role to develop parts for the FW30 will hurt Kazuki alot more than Rosberg.
And the Halk is waiting in the wings too is Kazuki does make too many mistakes.
Pressure on!!!!!!!!
Big prediction I know but thats my view and thats why in my opinion he is the most important Mid field driver next year.

They always seem to be impressive, im not having a dig at them by any means here, but one could imagine them doing this every pre-season to help get further financial backing...

Well, they really do need it now. Not being a manufacturer and all.
I think that KN will do a solid job next year. Perhaps a fair few points down on Nico but he was always going to be difficult to match. I see Williams getting a solid 5th place or so.
---
Are Williams any closer to getting/releasing their proper 08 livery yet?

Why leave it so late? Why are they 'hiding' it?
Don't see the point in delaying it but it's not so far off now.
Hopefully it will be a nice surprise and will look better than stats.

Williams may still be in the final stages of negotiations with a new sponsor. Thats about the only reasonable answer that I can come up with

I couldn't imagine them having too much trouble after last season.
Probably asking a bit much or something. thinking about it though, it is quite likely that this is holding them up.
Sponsoring was a lot more straight forward when they were allowed tobacco.

Agreed, I'd love to see them back at the top - especially now that Nico's coming of age.

Seems a bit darker than I originally thought.
If so then yes it’s cool.
