My head said brake, but my heart cried never.
But not surprised that they were the only ones to try the Ultras even though the data didn't support it. Egos and hierarchy keep undermining their strategy calls.
And yeah, Perez had an absolute shocker! Feel sorry for Ocon, I think he's shown enough talent to be given another shot somewhere but his options look limited.
I’ve looked back at the Sirotkin incident, and it’s a deliberate and bad-tempered side swipe. Perez should have been black flagged and given a one race ban.

Ocon will get the reserve seat, some testing time, and a seat at the Merc Formula E team. Keep his powder dry, see what happens for the next season. Sometimes it is best to be patient for a year than to take a shitty seat.

From Toto Wolff when the contract was announced:
"When we took the decision in favour of Valtteri for 2019, it wasn't just about his undoubted speed and work ethic, but also a question of character...His relationship with the team, including Lewis, is open and trusting, without any politics at all. Those are the ingredients you need when you're fighting strong rivals in both championships and they mirror the values inside the team."
Giving someone a contract extension then throwing them onto the scrapheap that is Williams would be rather shitting on those preached values. If you put Ocon in a crap Williams, you won't learn much new about him. Put Russell in there and you will. With testing so limited over a season now, you want to maximise that time. Ocon will give you more than Russell and would be less likely to dump it in the armco.
Mercedes want Ocon to be a Mercedes driver and you can bet money on Ocon wanting to be a full Silver Arrows driver. With Ferrari looking secure and the Red Bull performance unknown once Honda come on board, only Ferrari and Mercedes can be said to be standout teams ie. good engine, good aero, not unknown quantities. I'd wait a year if it meant getting into one of those two teams.
