Yep the arch rival of Mclaren and a team I always want to see do well. Williams.







I'd just like to add, the Williams with the twin pillar nosecone, I couldn't believe how square and boxy the design is. From the TV it looks a standard smooth curve to the tip, but it's not it drops at a steep angle.

Hey.....look at those red 5's, that's more like it  8-)

What's that last one though, is that what they look like these days?  :-/

I told you I'm not a true believer anymore  ::)  ;D

The last one was 2004's interesting and radical offering. Unfortunatly the weight of it made all the benifits of the twin pillar completely redundant and they went back to the standard design.

How did that Jag sneak in the first one?  ;)

There were two old guys discussing something right in the way of my single car shot, so after a couple of minutes waiting I just decided to go for the long shot. Unfortunatly that Jag got in the way.

Nothing new there then, especially when Eddie Irvine was driving one....  ;D

Not these two bitching on again was it ?

The Old Gits

Nice collection of old racers 8-)
I have been an F1 fan since 1994 only but i realy like those older F1 cars.
This year looks like its going to be a good F1 year again

Craig could you email me the full sized ones of red 5? The wife is a big Mansell fan 8-)

Sure not a problem, I take it you mean the one with Mansells name on it

I take it white 5 is Damon's 1996 car? Shame they don't have Piquet's '87 or Mansell's 92 car. Great selection though. How close was the first red 5 shown to becoming the car of the world champion...

The Fw14b was on loan somewhere which I was gutted about.  :'( The 88 williams just wasn't part of the line up, sorry.

These are all very nice photos Craig. I didn't spot where they were taken. Expect I should know but I have no idea. :P

All the cars used to be on display in the museum at the factory. I expect they still are. Lots of photos here. ---> http://williams.latphoto.co.uk/?page=ViewImage&cat=7&id=WIL2007020263651
They had an example of every one built under the Williams name. I once had a guided tour but cameras were not allowed under the pain of death.

Thanks Doug, these were taken at Donnington as part of the GP collection.

It is - it just has a red 5 on it rather than a white 6...
(PS - I've spotted my mistake - I meant to say Piquet's 1987 car - his 88 one would have been Yellow and have Lotus written on it! )
