McLaren may have some way to go before returning to their 1998 feat of winning 15 of the season's 16 Grand Prix races, but as they swept the board race after race at the start of the 1998 season, the other teams must have felt a similiar frustration. The Mercedes V10 packed in the power, and the brilliance of former Williams aerodynamicist Adrian Newey helped the team realise every ounce of the car's potential. This book provides an inside look at the Woking equipe and its recovery programme.
This text on the Williams Formula 1 racing team includes information on: the design department, the wind tunnel, engines, tyres and testing; the cost of running Williams for a year and how it attracts sponsors; the roles played by significant drivers including Piers Courage, Alan Jones, Keke Rosberg, Nigel Mansell, Nelson Piquet, Alain Prost, Damon Hill, Jacques Villeneuve and Heinz-Harald Frentzen; race weekend - the logistics, practise and qualifying, driver debriefings, catering, accommodation and press conferences; the countdown to the start of the race, pit-stops, telemetry and what happens after the finish; and appendices giving race and driver statistics and comparisons with rival teams.
