Tech analysis: Williams FW28
Williams embark on a new technical era for the team, and the 2006 car design very much reflects their separation from BMW. Craig Scarborough analyses the Williams-Cosworth FW28
Williams entered 2005 with some optimism, but although their car appeared to have all the right features, a mismatch between their wind tunnel results and the car's true on-track performance wrecked their early season. It again fell to a long hard season of continued development to bring the team back to form.
Having worked out the issues between the team's two wind tunnels, the parting with BMW and Michelin has left the team with another tough development programme. The loss of Gavin Fisher, the team's long-standing chief designer, again broke up the continuity; with Fisher replaced by ex-BAR man Jorg Zander.
