Williams FW37 Mercedes

[Steven]

Pat Symonds told me earlier today that Williams' short nose proved more aerodynamically interesting, despite its increased complexity to get a crash structure into it. He said they did do simulations with longer noses but found short was the way to go for them.

He didn't want to go into specifics (sadly) but he confirmed that it's got to do with the flow structures coming off of the central FW section.

CTO Pat Symonds will be doing a Twitter Q&A from Jerez this afternoon. Got a question about the team or the FW37? Ask now with #AskWMR

#F1 Williams probably change rearwing concept to single pillar mounting later this season, Pat Symonds told us. AMuS: http://ams.to/-C

I'm going to guess he is refering to the FW pylon mounts. They were unique last year and similar this year. Symonds mentioned in the press release the FW37, like the 36, was designed for maximum aero efficiency. Others may be hunting more DF?

PS: The most visual change between now and the first race will be a new rear wing #AskWMR

Low beam wing still here.

I was looking for a picture to show that. Good find.
