In case of Robert's relations with the team - just don't miss current issue of "F1 Racing"
here is a piece found on reddit (forgive me size of this scan, I don't know how to post it smaller):

Thanks for posting that Greg.

I think it makes Robert seem a bit deranged. Perhaps one has to be to be a successful F1 driver, however.

Anyway, it is great to hear that he commands not only the respect, but has earned the affection of the team as well. This is the sort of leadership that, whatever his other abilities (which I think are likely considerable), it is impossible to imagine Lance Stroll ever providing a team. He just does not have the apparent force of personality necessary for that role.

George as well would seem a real candidate for such leadership, though perhaps with a different approach. He certainly seems aware of the need for it and keen to take on the responsibility. Alternatively, again, I don't remember Lance ever once suggesting it was any of his business.

One could argue that the same absence I saw in Lance characterizes both Valtteri and Felipe as well. Both seem like genuinely sweet guys, and really quick drivers too, but the sort of personalities around which a championship team can be built? I'm not so sure.

Interesting guy, Kubica.

Certainly he appears to be able to get on with the various factions at Williams, a dark art in itself. (He appeared quite friendly with the Strolls.)

And while there's a healthy distrust of factory data systems, his innate mechanical feel is invaluable.

No idea if the driving will stretch to even two years, it may not go 'as well as hoped', to quote Schumacher after his stint as a returnee. But I can see him being kept on in some trackside management function. 'Sporting Director' or some such title.

Don't get your message Phat. I like KUB and I am glad we have a full roster of talent in our cars this year but a ship in trouble doesn't need a key person shouting 'we are sinking'.
I think as far as the 42 goes, we are behind in prep aside from anything else. Hell, it may be the fastest car on the grid but if we can't make the top links, we are slowest. Team fail. KUB needs to be a bit more of a team player IMHO.

Chickenman, you're shooting the messenger not addressing the problem.

Chickenman.

Said in fun with no malice, Ozzy raises chickens on his farm. So I affectionately refer to him as Chickenman.

Chickenman has a ring to it. More than Ozzy if Im honest. If Ozzy isnt offended by it, Chickenman will stick winking smiley

That being said, Ozzy/Chickenman is one of the old timers up here. Together with many of us like PJ and Mike. But I do wonder, what happened to Crusty_Bread? I remember him getting into some arguments over Stroll and then suddenly never saw him again. Last activity dates from March last year.

Crusty was a knowledgeable and all around good bloke. We shared a PM in which his passion for all things WIlliams was very evident in around his departing.

Trust Crusty is doing well and lurks from time to time to see his efforts didn't go without notice.

Indeed, after "Beyond The Grid" podcast - another really great and truthful article about Robert (this time by Lawrence Barretto from F1), nothing to add.

Chickenman is fine by me. None taken. Crusty Chris did disappear quite suddenly. I think I've seen K1 Ken about from time to time.

There was also that fella who posted with a pic of a bearded chap. I forget his name. He was very ill the last time I spoke to him so suspect maybe the worst.

He was called Parminio_USA. Just looked up my PMs. Was a Mclaren guy mainly I think.
