Williams F1 presentation @ Texas State University

So my friend told me a couple of weeks ago that Williams would be doing a presentation at his school. Luckily for me, it was only a 30 minute drive from Austin, and I had to go. The presentation was by Matt Jones of Williams Grand Prix Engineering, Ltd. He works in the marketing portion of Williams. He talked about the history of the team and what they want for the future. They plan on having their own location at the USGP track in Austin once it's built.

They also lent an FW31 (2009 car) to Texas State for the time being. I played with it when no one was watching. Playing with the paddles and clutch paddle. Here are some pictures of it (notice I'm not a professional photographer):

I had a great time. The guy was talking about their FW 14 and the ride height suspension. Then he went on to say "apparently some team last year had it" I raised my hand and said "Red Bull" and he was like "I don't know what you're talking about, I can't say anything because I'm good friends with the team manager". lol

^ just perfect timing when no one was around. Most people that attended the thing was only there for the free food. I could've have given a shit about the food.

Thanks.

I know you hate him because of the Fantasy League, but I have never been a big fan of him. He whines more than any of the other driver, and frankly I just think he's annoying.
