This is Williams" new Formula 1 car for the 2018 championship. It"s called the FW41, and though we"re promised a raft of changes underneath, the most striking is the integration of the halo" safety device. About those other changes. Paddy Lowe, Williams" chief technical officer, notes that externally, "the team has pursued a very different aerodynamic concept". This, in turn, has allowed for "significant progress" in aero performance. We"ll find out next month how both the aero and that halo fare on track. As per last season, the 2018 car will use a Mercedes power unit, tailoring the chassis and body of the new vehicle to make the most of the improved engine.
