Staler planned to invite Sir Williams to watch the race today, partly with the idea that he might promote Chen Xiangbei, though he wouldn't say it outright beforehand.
The reason is simple: Staler doesn't know Chen Xiangbei's capabilities, recommending a rookie is essentially wasting his friendship.
On the other hand, even if Chen Xiangbei is a potential genius, it's still not easy to broach the subject.
Even if the Williams Team is no longer one of the paddock's Big Three, it remains a formidable and unyielding F1 team within the paddock.
Chen Xiangbei is still racing in the Renault Junior Formula for his debut event. The Williams Driver Academy hasn't been established yet, so what can get him on an F1 team owner's radar?
But if Sir Williams himself brings up the topic, Staler can certainly continue the conversation.
"Haha, have him win the Renault European Cup championship first, then come talk to me about interest."
Sir Williams chuckled and then wheeled himself away.
