A big day for Williams

The Williams team will be launching its new car tomorrow and, if rumours are to be believed, it will also bre announcing the start of a big new sponsorship deal with the Chinese computer Lenovo. Much has changed within the team in the last six months with a number of new recruits as the team has undergone a technical restructuring in order to solve the problems that were highlighted last year. The team is well aware that 2007 is going to be critical to re-establish the team's reputation as winning force in F1, disrupted so badly when the team split with BMW at the end of 2005. There are some who argue that the team cannot compete against the big manufacturer combines of the future but Sir Frank Williams and Patrick Head obviously disagree and intend to prove the doubters wrong in 2007.
