If Williams was sold, what actually would they be selling, the name? Or the F1 team/entry?
They’re a company that runs a team, can’t really see how you’d split that up. Unlike say BAR selling a team to Honda, selling to to Virgin etc, that’s selling* an otherwise anonymous team to a new title sponsor. How would you sell “Williams”? It’s either then “williams-……….” F1 team, or it’s not Williams anymore.
*may or may not have been sold rather than just changed sponsor, but you get my drift.
