Williams considering sale, terminates ROKiT sponsorship

https://racer.com/2020/05/29/williams-considering-sale-terminates-rokit-sponsorship/

I believe the downfall of Williams began/started with the whole "Mechachrome" fiasco.....

The story of Williams has always been full of up-and-down. The Mecachrome "fiasco" was not worse than the Judd one in 1988, and they came back to the front with BMW with 10 wins between 2001 and 2004. They were the 3rd best team in 2014/2015, only because Mercedes was by far the best engine. Then, they began to fall downhill when the other engine suppliers (Ferrari, Renault, then Honda the last couple of years) progressively closed the gap. So, their last (final?) downfall started somewhen between 2016 and 2017.
 
They won't be missed.
Williams fall from grace was inevitably their own fault, they lost Honda due to favoring Mansell over Piquet, the Mecachrome drama came about through the departure of Renault Works support and Williams adopting an engine supplier who was not capable of developing and maintaining an obsolete engine (didn't help BAR either), while the departure of Patrick Head was the real beginning of the end.
