Tommy’s little additions to the intros are my favorite thing

"Carlos, this is James, let me show my powerpoint presentation."

Emergency podcasts are the best podcasts.

I'm expecting Tommy to appear behind me next time I'm watching a P1 intro

[siebenoel]

First appendix-less team in Formula 1 history

2:51 You make a good point but let me remind you of Fernando Alonso and Jenson Button driving for 9th placed McLaren in 2015

[specialK]

Most likable duo in F1? Both of them are just such nice, down to earth guys. Kind of people that would admit if they exceeded track limits. Wish them the best. Hopefully Williams turns things around.

[Carlos-lnfd]

They did confirm Logan will stay for the rest of the season which makes me happy. Let him improve as much as he can in the time he has left. He probably won't have a seat next year but I'm still happy to see him try to finish his time in F1 in a high note.

Tommy really came out of left field with that intro

[turnerkirby]

Matt and Tommy looking like they are about to hit Centre Court at Wimbledon

[luvyluck]

Summer break is off to a great start already! Not even a whole day and the musical chair game has begun lol

[MrSavoury]

One of the strongest driver pairings on the grid in my opinion, just need to secure Newey to build them a good car now…

[seanCNC]

Having two competent drivers is a big win for Williams. Hopefully, they will be able to start next year focusing solely forward, not looking backwards, worrying about having enough spares...

[forgeflames]

Can we remind Tommy that in 2015 Mclaren finished 9th in the championship and managed to retain Alonso and Button, which in fairness smashes this line up out the park

[mohamedgoudiaby]

This driver line up could be in any top team without being and feeling weird or undeserved so Williams are the biggest winners here

Newey is going to Williams. Been calling it. Having 1 decent driver and 1 horrible driver has been holding Williams back. Having 2 good drivers will boost their development so much. Especially with even more sponsor money now. Really rooting for Williams.

Alpine fires another team principle in the middle of the season and plans to announce it is droping its own works status. Carlos has already worked with them and knows what all that truly entails regarding leadership and team management.

Sauber/Audi feels compelled to fire its two technical heads and bring in Binotto, pointing to Audi maybe missing development targets. Carlos has worked with Binotto at Ferrari, his dad knows Audi, and fully understands what that would entail for team direction and leadership.

He chose Williams within days.

Tells me everything I need to know about Alpine and Audi for the next few years.

James Vowles has done incredible work securing this lineup with the issues Williams have.
Audi and Alpine not being able to lure Sainz is a damning indictment

[MihzvolWuriar]

I will be fine with that as long as Willians can consistently score points, I just want the Smooth Operator to keep his magic going.

[lulwut]

From Logan to Carlos. What an upgrade.
