Williams F1 Mega Factory

Just watched this nice documentary on Youtube showing how the Williams F1 team works

Whether you like racing or not, it's pretty interesting to see how it all comes together. I thought i'd share it.

Oh well, my F1 knowledge ends with: they have 4 wheels and go around in circles

+Antony Collingwood Thanks. So they just agreed to put their name on the car to boost Renault Clio sales? Interesting. I believe Williams did however help develop the championship winning Renault Laguna BTCC car in 1997.

Most of the teams are based in the UK, with the notable exception of Ferrari and relative (returning) newcomers Mercedes (not McLaren), Sauber and Toro Rosso.

Williams alignment in the '90s did extend to touring cars as well as the Renault F1 engines, and who could forget the Williams Clio pocket rocket. I know I wanted one.

Clio Williams

My 55hp Fidji rustbucket could fly like an axe off a handle, I can't imagine the 200hp dustbin going

I just happen to be a huge fan of the Scuderia....and with a hint of a comeback from Vettel this year, I figured i'd change my sig.

Raikkonen is my dude though.

That guy is awesome.

Anyway, I always understood Williams was a British team but I wasn't sure on which engine they used in the 90's so I wasn't going to comment.

No matter which team you follow or whether you follow the sport at all, it's a cool little engineering video.
