Re: 2024 discussion thread
In more Williams news, it appears that Logan may end up with the repaired tub next race, while Albon keeps Sargent's old one. And while yes the logic makes some sense (the engine and gearbox are tied to drivers not tubs, and swapping them is very tedious) its another bad deal for poor Logan. ...and...
