williams downright has the best marketing strategy of any team on the grid rn, like having accessible meet&greets, the tp giving his blunt insights on the team’s performance, and an almost-weekly podcast of their drivers just yapping away; it’s all an almost foolproof way of gaining fans outside of the track.

#being seen as ‘down to earth’ in a sport where people in it are everything but is hella smart imo #team torque and vowles verdict has to be the best things ever bestowed upon us #(kinda biased since i Am a williams fan) #alex albon #logan sargeant #james vowles #aa23 #ls2 #williams f1 #formula 1 #f1 #formula one #yap

New conspiracy that the ice bath boxer moment was the reason williams off grid has been axed for the noticeably boxer ice bath-less vowles verdict (disclaimer: if any of the williams social teams are reading this, do NOT get any ideas)

alex when his balls get accidentally posted online once and it gets him out of social media videos for a whole year

#do i watch vowles verdict every week? yes #does his annoyingly calming voice make me want to throw things? also yes #bring back head2head and alexs **** dorilton!!! #asks #anon

I just thought of another fic au. Will someone please take it out of my head I can't start another wip.

#I am happy to put it up for adoption #(it's a pilot/airline au fwiw. I just watched the lasted Vowles Verdict and couldn't stop picturing consonants in a really nice suit) #(I know I'm tragic)

why logan isn't getting replaced at imola, a breakdown

(aka a breakdown so my fellow logan girlies (gn) don't break down)

I've seen this getting around, with a little traction and some people panicking a bit so let's discuss.

Joe Saward has not been a reliable source of transfer news for some time. Let's be real. A lot of this is gaining traction because Saward is "a 35 year accredited F1 journalist". And this is true, he has long experience in F1 and is accredited in the paddock. But it has been many, many years since he was accurate about driver market predictions.

You have to be eighteen to get a superlicence (thanks, Max!). Antonelli does not turn 18 until August. For him to be granted a superlicence in time for Imola, the FIA would have to issue an exemption. If Antonelli was carving up F2 it'd be one thing. But he's been far from convincing so far, and it hasn't just all been Prema. He is an F2 rookie - and he looks like it.

James Vowles has already said that Antonelli to Williams next year is not a given, because Williams has its own juniors - of which Logan is one. Now I know James has been in the bad books with plenty of us since the whole chassis debacle in Melbourne but I do believe him on this. He is quite keen to establish that Williams is not a feeder team for Mercedes and that has been the board's position for some time too (remember their angry denunciation when the rumour was that Oscar was going to replace Latifi at Silverstone?).

James Vowles still believes in Logan. Now I know some of you will be claiming this is doubtful, but I do believe it to be true. In the Japan Vowles Verdict he was warm in his praise for Logan's race pace and early stint - to the point his voice literally changed tone while answering the question. He was absolutely effusive in his praise for Logan after the Melbourne debacle. I do genuinely think that James wants to keep him.

Bringing in a driver change mid-season is incredibly disruptive - you don't do it unless you are certain you're getting a better deal out of it. Last year Alpha Tauri brought in Daniel halfway through the year. The main reason for this was because he was a fairly immediate upgrade to de Vries. But even if you're scornful of Daniel's pace, the other reason they wanted him was for his feedback and car development ability, which AT were pretty vocal that they found invaluable. Bringing in an extremely green, unprepared rookie who has barely worked with the team would be a recipe for instability, morale issues, and more broken bits, which is the absolute last thing Williams needs.

Toto Wolff can't offer James Vowles a big enough incentive to take his junior. Let's cut to the chase on this: to insinuate that James would take Antonelli just because Wolff asked is a pretty big insult to James. He's not Wolff's lapdog. They clearly respect one another and have a personal relationship outside of the sport, but that doesn't mean he'll just do whatever Toto wants - he didn't get to be team principal that way. So Toto would need to offer James an incentive. But what can he offer that James actually needs? Williams aren't broke any more, so money isn't going to cut it. And Williams already run the Mercedes engine, so Toto can't convince him with that. What Williams actually needs - the cultural and procedural overhaul that James has begun - Toto cannot help with.

tl;dr keep cool and keep the faith, logan fans. there's still plenty of time left in our ride.

The Vowles Verdict: Japan

“Are you considering replacing Logan?”

James:

#james is still supportive and defending logan #they want him in the car in 2024 #let’s take this as a good sign #logan sargeant #james vowles #williams racing #formula 1 #f1

[i-am-church-the-cat]

can u enlighten me about the psl context hehe

Sure! I’d be happy to.

Basically, after Alex’s sprint on Saturday, James and Alex had this interaction over the radio:

Obviously, fans were like “What does this mean?” Well, in the latest Vowles Verdict, someone asked about it.

According to James, Alex walked by him Saturday morning with a coffee. James likes to know how people take their coffee, so he asked about it, and Alex apparently was very enthusiastic about his Pumpkin Spice Latte that he had his own recipe for.

So the radio after the sprint was a callback to that. But, the story continues because on Sunday, James got his side of the garage all PSLs the way Alex makes them for good luck (and obviously it worked 😉). James said that he wouldn’t have another one, though, even for points 😂.

So yeah, Alex’s Pumpkin Spice Lattes are Williams’ new good luck charm 💕. Thanks for the ask!

#i also don’t like psl #but i will drink them every sunday if it means williams does well #alex albon #james vowles #williams racing #us gp 2023 #asks

new year, same feeling of imminent death upon watching the first 3 minutes of the vowles verdict this week. its like the mmm watchya say snl skit every time james starts a new sentence

there’s the millennial pause and then there’s the gargantuan stretch of time it takes jowles to tell you the latest way the williams f1 team have flopped in the most excruciating tone to ever exist in the vowles verdict

#hearing someone speak that slowly and calmly actually sets off my fight or. no just fight mode honestly #i hear jowles speak and it’s like. personification of a plain chicken breast #raw chicken breast even #asks #anon

[jamesvowles]

next vowles verdict should be filmed like a classic youtube apology

#including the dog and fake tears #da mind prison

I have a bunch of questions I want to submit to the Vowles Verdict but they basically all boil down to this:

How are you going to do better next time? How are you going to come back from this weekend? How are you going to rebuild the fans’ trust in you and the team? How do you repent from the last three days? How?
