There is the idea of all press is good press, and then there's the reality of it, and Williams Racing is the prime example.
The Idea:
Alex and Logan Podcast
Alex and Logan Talk about their races
Alex and Logan Spin the wheel
Alex and Logan Track Walk
Alex and Logan food tasting in USA
We signed Logan to another season because we believe in him
The Reality:
James Vowles constantly saying the car isn't where it needs to be
Points previously were just out of reach
We have faith in our drivers, but don't look now, he's driving with a part from last year
Oh and he actually isn't the one who crashed a car but the one he's driving is heavier.
Logan's job is obviously on the line, we're talking to 4 or 5 people.
The fact is, when you open the door, the good and the bad both come, it's not a filter. James Vowles wanted to make his team more accessible, and frankly, that makes them more scrutinized. For all that we talk about Lewis and George dying, unless Toto is forced before a mic, he's not opening his mouth. I don't even know what Mike Krack looks like (also sidebar, he's not German people), but yet I can tell you exactly what James Vowles said on Friday because he posted it for the whole world to see.
There needs to be some boundaries, because the idea that points were tarnished by the fact that you have now twice admitted that key parts are not available for several races at a time is a problem. How does that happen when you finished higher last year than the year before?
I'm all for transparency. I'm not for no filter, no explanations just statements.

It's important to showcase Anthony Paradis's free program costume (seen here at the 2024 Junior Worlds, 2023 Junior Grand Prix Osaka and 2024 Canadian Nationals), even though there's a desperate lack of photos of it! He skated to Yours by Conan Gray.
As per his interview with Golden Skate:
“It’s super beautiful,” he said of his distinct sleeveless costume, a mix of shredded white lace, tears and red crystals, representing blood. “I love it. It's kind of like a heartbreak. You know, you get stabbed in the heart and then it bleeds. Just, it's a beautiful thing.”
