Williams plans bold FW25

The current FW24, combined with BMW's engine, has failed to take on and beat the dominant Ferrari F2002 over the course of the season. That is despite the German manufacturer's engine superiority last year, which has not been sustained this season.

BMW motorsport boss Gerhard Berger has called on Williams to raise its game, and the team boss has vowed that next year's chassis will play its part in pulling back the Ferrari advantage..

"Next year we won't repeat the mistake of not risking enough," said Williams. "We'll prove our technological boldness and present a revolutionary FW25."

The 60-year-old team boss also has great faith in his newly re-signed driver Juan Pablo Montoya and suggested that a new Williams golden era could be near.

"With Montoya we might be as strong in 2003 as we were with Nigel Mansell. When he was our team driver, he suddenly turned out to be unbeatable," he said.
