"If all goes well, Claire will be gone next week"

Williams announced yesterday that they have been acquired by an investment firm called Dorilton Capital. Renger van der Zande expects that current team boss Claire Williams will be put aside soon.

Wrong choices

"If all goes well, Claire will be gone next week", says van der Zande during a broadcast of the Formula 1 Café of Ziggo Sport. According to the Dutchman, everyone in the paddock knows that she made some bad choices that did not benefit the team.

"It's just that she is the daughter of the boss, that's why she had priority. But that is no longer the case now", the IMSA driver continues. According to van der Zande, there is no reason anymore for Dorilton Capital to keep Claire Williams on board.

Big example

Van der Zande says Williams should take an example from Mercedes: "Mercedes could get success in F1 by buying the best people away from other teams everywhere. That's the trick. It's a people sport. If you have the right people on board, you can get far. If you put them together, you'll be fine."
