Fierce fight in Williams - How will it go for Kimi?


It's boiling inside Williams' camp and it can affect the situation of Kimi Räikkönen and Valtteri Bottas.

Williams CEO Adam Parr and the team's second biggest owner Christian Wolff have had a fierce fight before Singapore GP.

Parr and Wolff strongly disagree over the future of Williams and in matters concerning the team's driver-choices.

The founder of the team and the main owner Frank Williams still trusts in Parr's ability to make right kind of decisions, but other than that Parr has become quite unpopular in the team.

The power battle between Parr and Wolff has been going on for some time already. Wolff would have financial possibilities to better get the team back on track. He would also want to take quite soon his protegé Bottas to F1 as a racing driver.

- Personally I think that Valtteri is ready to succeed in F1 very soon, Wolff told IS.

The most logical would of course be to still keep Bottas, who is a test driver, in Williams. But it could also happen that Räikkönen or someone new pay-driver prevents the rise of 22-year old Bottas in Williams.
