Williams unveils its new FW43B

The presentation of the Williams FW43B should have taken place in augmented reality via a dedicated mobile application. Problem, the application in question has been hacked by hackers a few hours before launch. 

Williams then fell back on a good old press release with photos of the new creation from Grove (UK). As the name of the chassis indicates, the FW43B is an evolution of the car fielded last year by the British team. 

If the name above the door is identical, Williams has entered a new era after the departure of the eponymous family and the takeover by the American investment company Dorilton Capital. 

Subscribed to the back of the grid since 2018, Williams, which appointed ex-Volkswagen Jost Capito at its head, will benefit from greater freedom than its rivals to develop its 2022 single-seater in the wind tunnel and via digital fluid dynamics (CFD). ). 

While waiting for better days at Grove, George Russell, whose talent is undisputed after his freelance at Mercedes at the 2020 Sakhir GP, and Nicholas latifi will try to scrape points here and there to avoid a 4th wooden spoon in a row. 

In view of the very measured ambitions displayed by Haas' rivals, Williams can have a legitimate hope of taking off from 10th place in the Constructors' standings.
