The team screwed themselves years ago.
When Hill won the championship in 1996, Adrian Newey asked for some shares in Williams as a reward, he also argued strongly than Damon should be kept on.
Williams and Head mistakenly assumed it was mostly down to them that they had won that championship and rejected Adrian Neweys requests.
The rest is history...Wiliams never won a title again in a car *they* designed themselves.
