Bruno Senna and Pastor Maldonado have unveiled the car they’ll be driving the 2012 season, with the Williams FW34 launched on the morning of the opening test of the season.
The team said that the FW34 “takes on a fresh design philosophy. Revised FIA technical regulations – of which the most significant are bans on exhaust blowing and exotic engine mapping and a drop in nose height, the FW34 carries fewer than five per cent of the parts from last year’s FW33.”
Team Principal Frank Williams said that it was a ‘fresh start’ for the team: “One could say that looking at the Williams F1 Team today we are off to a truly fresh start. We have a new car, new driver line up, new engine and new senior personnel. We also have a number of new partners who have joined the team in the past few months. I’d like to take this opportunity to welcome them formally and sincerely wish that they have an enjoyable and, most importantly, a valuable experience with us. The team has had a good winter at the factory and we feel ready and strong for the fight.”
