Williams FW35 Renault

A place to discuss the characteristics of the cars in Formula One, both current as well as historical. Laptimes, driver worshipping and team chatter do not belong here.

Williams' rear end is non existant as always, and the coanda exhausts are lower than the Ferraris.

edit:
@above picture, wow........very interesting indeed. I'm even more impressed with the non existence of the back of the car in that pic....madness..

Looks like Caterham won't be getting an earful from other teams on their own heh.

If they tilt the exhausts upwards enough, they can bury them in the sidepods and still have the ability to create "tunnels" aft of the exits? Assuming the coanda effect works well enough?

And not as fat a sidepod so the flow will be more fluent thru on the side via the abrgeboard.

FW35 is in different angle, look at the top of the rear tyre.

Yep, but I couldn't find a better photo to use. There are none where the cars are in perfect profile or shot with the same focal length.

yeah, very interesting solution and would surely cause a bit of debate in the paddock.

Well done Mike Coughlan and chums!! I think this car is going to be a thorn in the side of Mercedes and Lotus this year! Maybe cause the odd headache for Mclaren, Red Bull and Ferrari too! The rear end is just amazing, so much wide open space! The gearbox must be off a Moto2 bike or something!

If Pastor and Valterri can keep it together this year Williams could be in for something of a renaissance!!
