The whole point in a young driver program is start with a large pool and filter it down. That's why you put them together. One wins, the other loses. One gets a Mercedes DTM drive and the promise that one day he'll get to visit Lewis Hamilton, or see Bottas. The other gets dropped and goes to Formula E.

Agreed, but is Williams the best place to accomplish this?

Who cares where it gets accomplished.
When they flick Bottas they still have the winner wherever he won.

That's just the Red Bull / Torro Rosso way of doing things.
Except: sometimes they both lose.

* Liuzzi/Speed
* Vettel/Bourdais
* Buemi/Alguersuari
* Ricciardo/Vergne
* Verstappen/Sainz (In this instance you could argue both eventually won)
* Gasly/Hartley

They didn't.
I think you misinterpreted my post.

I just posted a list of the driver pairings they had in the last few years.
Of these driver pairings there was (almost) always at least 1 loser (except Sainz).

It's obvious that the winners were Vettel - Ricciardo - Verstappen and Gasly.
At least, I thought that was obvious

Quite. Put them together and then you know. Then you can halve the amount you are putting into them!

Williams have told Mercedes, if you want the second seat for Ocon, then find us a title sponsor. Mercedes is working behind the scenes to make this happen, and there's some talk of a current Mercedes powered team's sponsor maybe switching over.

So no drive for Kubica if this happens then. Very disappointing.

Not for everyone and certainly not for those who hope that Williams can improve on their current woeful situation.

Well as this thread is actually about him, as has been reported elsewhere, Bob The Pole is in a race seat for Williams next year.

exactly - i think we're all pleased to see robert make a proper return but a bit disappointed it's at the cost of younger and arguably better drivers.
