Financially it seem that Mercedes have $15M per year to play with which is what they were due to pay Rosberg, so even a costly deal with Williams is 'cheap'.

Even with a massive engine deal, Williams would have a massive driver issue.
They would have a wet behind the ears 18 year old with half a dozen runs in an old car and a super licence which still has wet ink.
And who else?
These new cars are going to not just need developing but if the suggestions are right, taming. That means experience and leadership. There isn't any of that available.
