Williamson Dynamics Grand Prix have come out to defend their recent lack of update work on the team's official homepage. Critics have said the team have become too distracted in the lead up to the season and working on their foreign language website versions to keep dedicated fans in the loop. In a brief statement Team Principal, Ben Williamson made a shocking defence which led to the team drawing scorn from animal rights activists.

"I won't deny it, lately I have not been running the UK site directly as usual, it is instead run by a small dog in return for performance related handfuls of biscuits. A great solution in this era of cost cutting." Upon noticing many animal lovers in the gathered masses were upset with the statement, the team boss went on to add; "I can understand that may sound like slave labour to you. But you really haven't seen how much he loves those biscuits"

This is the latest in a string of incidents involving the Anglo-German squad following on from their now infamous new season parties, endless employment of scantily clad women, beer, rock music and pyrotechnics to win over fans and the well known 2009 engine supply issue, during which the team's headquarters at the time in Lancaster, England was attended by a large number of police officers in response to reports of a 64ft nitrogen powered cannon erected outside the facility. The team later elaborated that their series 1 engine, due for supply to many formula sim racing outfits for the season was advertised with acceleration comparable to "being shot out of a cannon" and Williamson himself had demanded the engineer making the claims find out exactly what that would feel like so as to confirm the validity of the claim.

The team subsequently changed their information pack to describe the engine's acceleration performance as "presumably comparable to being shot out of a cannon, or at least to our best estimation of what being fired from a cannon would feel like.. which is of course subjective in itself and not nessacerily a valuable or reliable measurement of performance" which the team later revealed as "somewhat less punchy than the original".

Williamson himself described the farce as "..health and safety gone mad! I thought it'd be genuinely funny."
