I hope it doesn't work that well, when it does all teams will copy it. It's almost as ugly as the high sidepodwings

I think it will be strong enough, but what if you run into the back of another car. Will you fly over your opponent (like Ralf Schumacher and Barrichello in Australia) or will you just drive under him (now that would be critical?

Hahahahahahahaha! Looks like CHRIS BANGLE also got into the F1 team designing!
Simply Outrageous! not necessarily in a bad way, but does look worse than conservative(?) forerunner.

IĀ“m always reading the F1 official site f1.com and i saw there all jerez test days results. I guess this new revolutionary Williams front wing design improved the cars handling. Not just this, off course, but even ugly, this modification is good to the lap-times, at least at jerez.

I didn't like it at first, but when it started turning laps it became gorgeous.
I also set as my background so it would grow on me, and it has. This is what F1
is all about. They got me excited, sauber, toyota, and jaguar certainly didn't.

They have just proved that they are the fastest at Valencia!

Definitely a force to reckon with.

Default Ugly but effective?

The front end no doubt looks ugly, but it probably give the car more downforce and stability than the "common design"
also...it looks like....williams has taken idea from F.1 car back in like...50s????? :shock:
