    Your first thoughts are a Lotus exhaust?

    You'd think Williams would have learnt from the whole Marussia crash issue last season..

    FW35 launched today.

    Pictures due soon, but first ones look like it's a bit different to the rest. Looks like its headbutted a brick wall.

    Looks like the Ferrari f138 a little bit.

    It looks very short though. Seems to have the least overhang at the front of any car and the front wing is swept back from the end of the nose. Lots of detail in the sculpture of the elements of the front wing.

    A slightly odd looking car, but if its faster and more consistent than last years, Williams won't care!

    I can see what you mean about it being shorter, seems a bit squished.
    Well sculpted and neat, lets see what kind of package it is, their drivers are very good also. Come on Williams, would be good to see them running at the front again.

    They've created a nose even uglier than the Ferrari's! <yikes>

    I trust they know what they're doing though.

    Was pretty much already known but now its been made official.

    Williams to use Mercedes engines from 2014 Formula 1 season

    As part of the deal, Mercedes will supply all associated energy recovery systems for the power unit, although Williams will continue to design and produce its own transmission.

    "I'm delighted to announce our new association with Mercedes-Benz for the 2014 Formula 1 season and beyond," said team principal Frank Williams.

    "Mercedes-Benz has been one of the sport's most successful engine suppliers and we believe that they will have an extremely competitive engine package.

    probably part of the Toto wolff buyout agreement. I wonder if future Mercedes drivers will be getting Williams seats?
