After a successful Canadian GP the Williams Martini team moves to Europe for the 2015 Austrian GP. 2014 would see the Williams team secure a 1-2 in qualifying with Felipe Massa on pole and Valtteri Bottas finishing on the podium. 2015 will see the Williams team come to the ciruict with a range of upgrades hoping to secure another good result and continue the momentum achieved in Canada.

The Red-Bull Ring located in
the small town of Spielberg, Austria hosted its first Grand Prix under
its new guise in 2014 and what a race it turned out to be for Williams.
The short 4.326km circuit with its undulating features and ‘Sound of
Music’ scenery was a popular return to the Formula One calendar.

Important point: both RBRs will change engines and take the drop. They are now looking at only Hungary and Singapore for a decent result.
So I expect another solid but conservative race from Williams.
And now some comparison so that the new parts will be more visible.
New rear wing and new rear brake ducts:
Canada:
New bargeboards:
Old:
And another interesting observation. If we dont include the failed atempt of blown axel in 2013 from Williams, our front brakeducts have changed weary little from 2012 FW34 :O
Austria 2015:
FW34 2012:
The new rear wing looks the business.
Keep the pics coming! Such a sexy beast, the FW37.
