Williams: 500 Races Young
Williams have been celebrating all season, and while the results on the track aren’t exactly the greatest, the achievements behind the scenes most certainly are. 2008 is a very special year for Frank Williams, Patrick Head and the Oxfordshire team, and the Italian Grand Prix later today will apparently be the squad’s 500th grand prix.

Reverse Grids: Viable Or Not?
Patrick Head of the Williams team has suggested today that reverse grids might be a good way to spice up the races, putting the fastest driver in qualifying at the back and the slowest at the front. This would mean the duration of the race is made up of the fastest driver trying to negotiate [...]

F1 2006 – Williams
