Ok, sorry for the delay, the trophy is ordered...same as post #304. Will try and do it as an annual thing. Winner gets to keep it for a year, get it engraved/labeled, then get it to the next winner.
I'll PM everyone with details when it arrives and a final cost. Again, it should be about $90 delivered, so thats ~$10pp. I may just set it at $10 and then any extra $$ will be used for a Toilet Bowl winner or something...
@DoubleK...the issue with Williams, from what I've read, is that it has TERRIBLE stability through the corners. There is almost a built-in aero upset so when the cars go to turn in the drivers have no idea whether it will over or under steer and simply can't turn the car with confidence. There is no excuse for a competing F1 car to be 3 - 5 seconds behind.
They've also had terrible luck (running over an exploding man hole) and there is very clearly team dynamic issues with Paddy Lowe leaving and Patrick Head rejoining them, rumours of being for sale, etc.. They also have virtually no spare parts, money, time for manufacturing, etc.
