A trecut destul de mult timp de cand Williams era in fruntea circuitului de Formula 1 si nimeni nu reusea sa-i rastoarne. Au castigat cateva campionate avand la bord piloti precum Nigel Mansell, Alain Prost, Jacques Villeneuve si Ayrton Senna. De atunci au cazut si au cazut rau. Vor reusi ei anul acesta sa revina? Cine stie..Vom vedea.
Tinand cont de noile regulamente pentru sezonul 2009, echipa Williams a fost nevoita si ea sa lucreze putin la noul monopost. Au introdus sistemul KERS (Kinetic Energy Recovery System), acel sistem despre care v-am mai vorbit si care recupereaza energia generata de sistemul de franare, dar in locul clasicelor baterii pentru stocare, folosesc un volant. Bineinteles, motorul de pe noul Williams FW31 este unul Toyota si monopostul a fost dezvaluit pe circuitul de la Algarve Portugalia. Pe acest circuit au mai venit cateva echipe, printre care si Renault, pentru a-si testa noile motoare.
O singura precizare: culoarea pe care o vedeti este provizorie, configuratia finala urmand a fi dezvaluita in luna Februarie.
