| Neo 30-5-2003 |
The Williams FW25 highlights the importance of complete packaging. No use having the best engine when other aspects like aerodynamics, tyres and brakes are neglected. And ultimately, the man behind the wheel is ultimately the most important. Montoya seems to have lost some form as compared to last year. Hopefully, the rumours that Williams and BMW may split are not true. After all Ferrari took 20 years to regain the driver's title and 17 years to regain the constructor's title. |

i think williams is probably disappointed so far this year because they are behind renault in the points. and how does renault stay so competitive with such a significantly weaker engine? |
| yea |
| bigsevs 11-5-2003 |
well the ferrari and williams last year were essentially the same engine in terms of power the ferrari's were quicker on the bridgestones and brakes. |
| Exhaust |
| pigo 15-4-2003 |
I think you will find that the newest 2003 car has indeed adopted the `periscope` exhast desighn. This exhast design its self does not produce the low pressure but the rear wing does. The airflow over the rear cowling helps push the exhaust flow towards and over the rear wings lower tier and produce extra downforce for the car.Dont think the low pressure created under the rear wing tiers effects the gasses coming directly out of the exhaust. |
| Why not copy Ferrari |
| Tim 20-2-2003 |
The 2002 Ferrari completely dominated, even if the BMW engine was unbreakable, Ferrari were still at least 1 second a lap quicker on average. Id say this extra speed is mostly due to ferrari's superior aerodynamics, and mabe the ferrari brakes. So 'Balance' why didn't they copy the periscopic exaust shields, they are obviously there for a reason, I believe they increase hp at high speed by creating a lower pressure region directly where the exaust gasses are exiting, this could be used to 'suck' the exaust gasses out to give the exaust less restriction and reduce the retarding forces on the engine. This is just my theory so if anyone else can justify a better one, Id love to hear it. |

No doubt that this year's championship would go for Ferrari(i predict)but the 2nd place i would go for McLaren MP 4-17 'D' spec, they would outrun the Williams, even though they have the fastest and most powerful engine doesn't mean that they would win, i believe that KIMI RAIKKONEN would make something big this year. |
| looks good!!! |
| motorhead 4-2-2003 |
I think the paint work on this car is very good. Much better than the FW23 or FW24. You are right in saying that this has the most powerful F1 engine on the planet but it does not seem to be the most realible and the drivers are not that good too. Their engines have to run into a problem in every single race they are in. The problem may be small but it is still a problem and just look at Ferrari's engine, it does not have that much power as the BMW but it is the most realible engine and actually the power is not that far off from the BMW. I think BMW would do very well this season as they proved that they could beat Ferrari at some of the races but will they become the new champions, its all a matter of time!!! |
| Most powerfull engine |
| Steef 3-2-2003 |
The BMW engine was the most powerfull one of the last season. it had aprox. 900 HP at 19000!!! rev's. So if the bodywork has been modified I think we are going to have a new world champion next season. |
| Rory Byrne should be flattered |
| Balance 3-2-2003 |
It appears to me that Gavin Fisher has spent lots of late nights meticulously studying photographs of Ferrari's F2002. The FW25 almost looks like a carbon copy of Rory Byrne's class leading F2002. All it lacks are the periscopic exhaust shields. Oh well, what's the point of trying to re-invent the wheel? If the BMW P83 engine is as good as it's claimed to be, Williams will have a very quick car at their disposal. |
