After Williams's promising start to the season, Matt Bishop heads to Bahrain with a proposition for Sir Frank...
Although Williams scored no world championship points in Malaysia, they made their point in no uncertain terms. Especially on medium tyres (i.e., the softer of the two Sepang options), particularly in the first half of the race, Nico Rosberg and Alex Wurz were faster than all bar the McLaren and Ferrari drivers. And, after the race, technical director Sam Michael hinted that the FW29 might be better still, relative to its opposition, in Bahrain.
Don't forget that even the unloved FW28 was sensational in Bahrain last year, especially in the hands of Rosberg, who, in his first ever Grand Prix, carved fastest lap and no fewer than 19 of the fastest 50 laps driven by anyone on that scorching afternoon in the Bahraini desert.
