Review |
| 2001
was a brilliant year. They won for the first time in four
years and the teams confidence was at a all time high.
The BMW engine was
extremely powerful and the package was good all-round. The
only problem was the cars were attracted to their rear ends. Throughout
the first four races retirements were all from collisions from
behind.
Many team owners
would love to be in Frank Williams position. He has the choice
of three drivers for 2002. Juan Montoya, Ralf Schumacher and
Jenson Button. From his early 2002 peroformance i would have
Jense in my team any day....Only time will tell. |
