How good is the new Williams?
There have been rumblings from Spain that the new Williams FW24 chassis is not as competitive as the team had been hoping it might be - despite the fact that the car is setting good testing times.
The Williams aerodynamic team is believed to be looking at ways to improve the package. A similar thing happened at the start of 2001 when the team was outpaced in Australia and Malaysia. An intensive aerodynamic program produced much more downforce for the car and from Brazil onwards the car was on the pace.
