Williams unveils new car but exhaust is deemed illegal

LONDON: On the same day that Williams rolled out the FW35, they have been told that their new exhaust is illegal.

Frank Williams’ outfit presented a two-part cover above the exhaust exit which is believed to contravene Article 3.8.5 of the FIA’s technical regulations which states that: “Single apertures either side of the car centre line (are permitted) for the purpose of exhaust exits. These apertures may have a combined area of no more than 50,000mm2 when projected onto the surface itself.
