Not a big change, but this is just one of a many subtle modifications brought by the team to Brazil. The team wanted to find ways to increase downforce at the rear, without altering the angle of the rear wing, which is especially important at Interlagos as all teams need to improve straight-line...
In Japan, Williams have introduced a modified rear wing, with a slightly revised main profile, featuring a steep curve in its central section (red arrow), close to its boomerang-shaped vertical pillars. This solution, coupled with the slightly narrower flap, improves the car's top speed at the end...
One of Williams' two front wing options in Singapore is a newly revised version sporting a rounded central spoon profile, instead of the standard square one, and slightly raised extremities to the main profile and flaps. This configuration provides almost as much downforce at the front as the...
Like all their rivals, Williams brought a Monza-specific rear wing to Italy. The FW30's wing featured a single profile, the extremities of which were bent upwards (see red arrow and inset). This configuration helped to reduce drag on the track's straights, while also providing enough downforce for...
Over the course of the German race weekend Williams adopted two separate solutions to the rearmost flap of the FW30's front wing. One change featured a narrower flap (bottom image, red arrow), while the other boasted a wider flap with a steeper profile towards its centre (top image, red arrow)....
One a number of changes within a revised aero package that Williams tested at Hockenheim last week in preparation for the German Grand Prix is these updated flip-ups in front of the rear wheels. The vertical endplate is reduced in surface area and under the main flip-up there is now an additional...
Following the recent Barcelona test, Williams used a heavily revised version of their sidepod winglets in France. They now closely resemble those on the BMW Sauber, thanks to a curved, vertical fin (inset) that connects them to the edge of the car's stepped bottom. This solution has two main...
Montreal is the most demanding track of the championship in terms of brake wear. Specific compounds are used for discs and pads and finding a solution that effectively controls wear whilst also keeping the brakes within an acceptable temperature range is paramount. To this end, all the teams...
At Monaco high downforce is key and to improve the FW30 in this respect, Williams have followed the trend set by Red Bull and followed by Renault and Toro Rosso by introducing a shark-fin engine cover. The fin is very long and extends towards the rear wing, eventually tapering down to draw level...
Introduced in Turkey, this solution is an evolution of the aero package debuted at the last round in Barcelona. The upper profile of the wing is now divided into three sections by means of two small vertical fences. These allow a slight increase in the profile depth of the two outermost sections of...
