I see. The williams cars have generally carried the same body for quite some years now. Especially at the rear with their signature gearbox. It has been evident that one man has played the same role in the aero department for that period.
There is something about their aero that lacks that punch. The car has always been focused on low down-force.
They may need to get a little more aggressive with the platform.

Isn't that just a choice of strategy, based on their budget limits? The take time to built a car what is fast om most of the tracks, really fast on some and just marginally lacking on most of the rest.

Lets face it, they only really lack in Monaco, Singapore and the rain.

The new spec of front wing is a quite a bit more agressive.

I have the text and most illustrations ready of a big Williams article, and it'll speak about that. Infact, the original article was finished 10 months ago, but due events has just been lying around without getting on the front page. It has been updated however ever since and has bloated up considerable. It'll discuss the evolution of the philosophy all the way back from 2013.

So looking forward to it! I love this team, always have.

Russian GP - Wednesday

"
Wonder engine remains Mercedes reserved
First of all, for its customers. Mercedes distributes fresh units of the first specification to Williams, Lotus and one of the two Force India. That leaves the miracle engine, which debuted at Monza and is already the basis for the 2016er engine, reserved until the end of the season for the factory team. The problem is that Petronas could not brew enough of the special fuel in the short time that is necessary for this type of engine.

That's a damn lame excuse.....

They haven't won the title yet with a big enough margin.

Kinda stupid, they are only helping Ferrari with this move.

My two cents on the subject:
- Mercedes does not want to reveal the true value of the engine. So they would like to keep it quite for a while
- and if they are forced to sell engine to Red Bull my guess will be: they (R.B)will get 2015 engine (fuel hard to get )!
