Today, the BMW WilliamsF1 Team officially launched its challenger for the 2005 FIA Formula One World Championship season, the Williams BMW FW27, at Valencia.
In the ‘Air Nostrum’, at the Spanish coastal city’s airport, some 200 guests and media representatives had their first glance of the FW27. In the afternoon, the new car will make its on-track debut at the ‘Circuit de la Comunitat Ricardo Tormo’.
The FW27’s design clearly reveals the effects of the new rules. To meet the new regulations, the front wing had to be lifted 50 millimetres and the rear wing moved 150 millimetres to the front. Furthermore, the diffuser height has been restricted while the floor area in front of the rear wheels has gone. In addition, the new BMW P84/5 engine will have to last two entire Grand Prix weekends.

Pretty neat.let us hope it is fast.
In 1958 Fangio decided to retire. His explanation for that was unique:
Fangio: "I came to test my car and after a few laps struggling with my `cache` I asked to my engineer: What did you change in the car?"
The engineer: "the shock absorbers. Why? They pay us to use..."
Fangio: "..so I realize that my time was come. I was the one that were in danger at the track, how could they change anything without asking me before? That was not the sport I like...besides that I'm too old...".
He was 47 and very quick yet...

I like how the front of the nose reminds me personally of the Ferraris of the late 1990s.

"You just don't mess with Jacques Villeneuve" - Murray Walker, 1997 Hungarian GP.
"When Jacques was with us, he was a very aggressive driver, fiercely competitive, mentally hard as nails. Very quick with it, very gifted. A bright fellow, undoubtedly, very intelligent. He was an absolutely born racing driver - look at the way he'd bang wheels with Michael, pass people on the outside, that kind of thing" -Sir Frank Williams on Jacques Villeneuve
"This year, with BMW, JV's going very well, and I'm pleased for him. Whether or not he'll get a drive next year I don't know, but I hope he does, he's an unusual, and very strong addition to the F1 community. A character." - Sir Frank Williams again on Jacques Villeneuve
The Nojvnof1 2006 driver lineup - Jacques Villeneuve, Nico Rosberg, Christian Klein, Scott Speed.
