Williams had to build a new differential to lower the drive shafts. The aim of the arrangement is to optimally approach the lower rear wing. Behind the airbox, the cladding drops steeply downwards and ends in a carbon mini bell, under which the gearbox and differential are hidden. The rear of the Williams FW33 is extremely low. You could hardly see the details because the mechanics always hastily pushed the car back into the garage when Rubens Barrichello returned to the pits.īut what first looked very conservative, turns out to be just as interesting on a second look at the dark blue vehicle as the protruding exhaust from Renault or the front to back drawn in side pods from ToroRosso. The big secret of the car remained undetected, which was also due to the fact that Williams did not make a presentation. Good Formula 1 standards, judged the observers after the first day of testing in Valencia. A at first glance the new Williams FW33 looks like a normal racing car out.
