Zero keel, new tires, higher sidepods, blah blah blah

... but the most interesting part of the presentation is the "Continuous Torque Gearbox"

Wasn't this tried by BAR? And banned?

That rear end looks amazing! No one has made it so slim and I think its all due to new gearbox which might be planetary but I have nothing to confirm that.

Good luck Williams!

yeah, all the pictures are crap, u can hardly see any detail.

Well other than that thing on the side pods, looks like they have done what Honda and Toyota have done, just in a differant way.

does anybody else think that the picture all look far far to formal
I believe in the chain of command, Its the chain I use to beat you till you do what i want!!!

I guess a planetary box would explain it.... i can't get over how tight it is..... big suprise from Williams i feel?!

Some other nice aero aspects too..... wow im all Mclaren normally, but that Williams is neat!

I doubt the gearbox is too special. Now its legality has been tested by other teams it is necessity that the remaining teams have it.

I'm reserving my judgement on the rear packaging and aero kit until some better detail photos come out. Or perhaps some on-track photos.

What part of it looks like an MP4/20??

Put them next to each other and I bet you couldn't tell me.

It has a triple element front wing, thats about the only similarity. oh and it has 4 wheels.
