Williams FW29

[megy]

Williams have launched their new car, pictures below.











Looks to be pretty much an evolution of last years car, with no radical changes, wings or fins, lets just hope they can do a little bit more with it this year.

Sort of reminds me of something, can't quite put my finger on it, but I'm sure it will come to me later today.

Will be able to post my own pics of the new Spyker on Monday, as I am going up to Silverstone for the launch, which will be good.

Didnt think anyone would want to own up to that one. Wasnt it the 'RUSSIAN BIRDS' creation.

[limegreennutter]

Russian, German, whatever she was, she was slightly,.....MAD

[megy]

What did you do there then Mark?

[limegreennutter]

Design engineer

Is it going to be crap like all their other cars of the past few years?

I wonder if they've finally stopped using solid hydraulic lines yet...

[limegreennutter]

Nothing wrong with solid lines, when done well.

Problem is they started makeing their own recently to save money instead of using AN Motorsport to make them, that's when the problems started.

Poached from Ferarri if my memory serves and only lasted a short time. Wasnt she brought in as an aerodynamicist to solve all the problems?

[limegreennutter]

That's right, no one was ever sure what she did at Ferrari though, this she cleaned the floors

[D-Angle]

AT&T are supposed to tbe the title sponsor this year? I'd be disappointed if I were them.

You'd think for the sake of a kilo or two they'd use flexible ones like everyone else and not have so many DNFs...

Then again, sad as it may be, it seems that Williams are going the way of Tyrell and Brabham and all those other F1 teams that had their heyday and now have to make room for fresher blood.

Love the images on pitpass.com, doesn't look like the official site is up.

[deevlash]

Thats incredibly aggresively sculpted sidepod! The chimneys seem a bit bigger than some other teams are running too, I have afeeling that this car should be a vast improvement on last years one.

[groomi]

Can you imagine how Alex Wurz must be feeling right now. On the one hand, he must be absolutely aching to go racing again, yet on the other hand he must be crapping himself that he doesn't fluff the start of the season and get replaced!

I think he always was a handy racer (better than Ralf) and could never understand how he got sidelined for so long.

Car looks pretty cool too. Front wing reminds me a bit of the Jordan 191.
