Passable number two driver but then so is Maldonado. Williams need a better car.

I see Raikkonen is "sitting out" the last two Grand Prixs. makes sense allround

Hamilton was also a complete novice when he joined McCaren,and he immediately made Alonso look ordinary. ;)

Does appear to be a move to sponsored drivers. Maldonado brought around £30 million or there abouts with him to Williams I think?

Certainly think Perez has done ok, considering the lack lustre car

Williams have said that Massa isn't going to be a paying driver. It will be useful to them to tap into his experience of how a top team like Ferrari work these days imo. It wont alter the fact though,that they need a huge injection of cash to get them back to the front again.

I wouldn't have thought the McLaren need a paying driver considering the wealth of the company owners :-[

They are going to get a lot less TV money this year due to there lowly position so maybe could do with a few extra quid ??? :)
