Williams to use Cosworth Engines in '06 (Confirmed)
In an interview yesterday, Sunday, Mark Webber said that Williams had found 15 seconds a race, due to new aero and other modifications. Do the maths fellas!!

Sorry julian but I've done the maths, if a race is 60 laps that means 0.25 seconds a lap
and that doesn't sound much to me
And given the other teams are not sitting still, then the improvement isn't impressive given that Williams did start from behind and claimed they'll improve quickly!
Even if we were to assume that the other teams are standing still, Alonso finished 24 seconds ahead of Trulli in Malaysia and Webber was never a threat to Trulli, do the maths
I'd love to see Webber and Williams do well but I'd much rather be pleasantly surprised rather than be dissapointed

point 25 secs a lap and he was rev restricted in practice and Qual because they were worried, naturally, about the second race on the engine ( unlike BAR
) at least they are becoming competitive with all but Renault, with, he said," more good stuff going on the car after Bahrain", I'm feeling a strange sensation on my face....wait, it could be.... is it .....yes, the tiniest beginnings of a very tiny smile

Webber[/u] Hey im a ferrari fan cos it's in my blood and i don't mind webber I was karting the other day in webbers birthplace quenbeyen when this guy was saying that he was'nt that quick on the karts. But things can change look where he's at now good on him he has worked his butt off to get to this stage so dont be surprised if he pushs the williams to the extreme limit to get a podium finish pressure is there too i'd be taking any oppurtunnity to prove my talent so don't exclude him this year u learn from your mistakes....All 4 now
