Poor Williams. What has happened to them? Hopefully they'll bounce back soon, there was an interview with Claire Williams after the Abu Dhabi race on sunday on TV in the UK and she stated they've drastically changed their structures and got lots of new people in to try and fix the issues. Well, they've been in freefall for a few years, pretty much ever since Claire took over (not that it's her fault). It isn't looking good for them; they have very little to show for the money they've spent over the past 2 years, and are now actively picking up spare change wherever they can (e.g. by selling half of their official testing time to a private investor - which might suggest they aren't very positive about the next season).

If you're looking for empirically verified proof that any one 2019 F1 car in the game is better than the others, you might end up waiting forever. The point hauls from this season won't tell you anything - for instance, FW42 was admittedly a complete and utter failure, with much less grip, pace, or speed than any other car on the grid. There's no indication of this in the game. IRL, the table pretty closely reflects the rewards these teams have received over the past season or two.
