A shocker to say the least, eventhough, he was unhappy, but no one expected such an abrupt move at the same time, . That leaves Williams in a huge mess, with shumacher leaving, and Montoya to depart at the end of the season. It would be really hard for them to keep their compsure, and make a serious run at the Constructors’ championship. On the other hand Renault is all set to gain, with brilliant improvements in their car, and two really good drivers, fernando Alonso, and ralph shumacher..
Ralf ‘quits Williams’
Schumacher has been unhappy at Williams for smoe time
Ralf Schumacher is to leave Williams-BMW and sign for Renault, according to his manager Willi Weber.
Weber said the 28-year-old driver, who finished fourth at the Australian Grand Prix, had already agreed details with Renault supremo Flavio Briatore.
“Every point of the contract has already been discussed,” Weber is quoted as saying in the German newspaper, Bild am Sonntag.
“The signing of the contract is now a mere formality.”
Ralf, the younger brother of six-times world champion Michael, has been unhappy at Williams for some time.
“Even if me and my manager Willi Weber would find it hard to leave behind our friends at BMW, there’s a chance it could happen,” he admitted recently.
“It would be sad but I can’t allow myself to be treated like that by Williams. But I find it hard to understand certain things that have happened these past few months.”
Schumacher claimed that Williams accused him of only being interested in money.
"Frank Williams says I’m nothing but a money-grabber. I can only laugh at that.
“He knows that I would accept to cut my current salary in half,” added the driver, who finished fourth in the drivers championship last season
