WILLIAMS – FORD COSWORTH FW07B n.27

HISTORY

The Williams – Ford Cosworth FW07B participated in the 1980 F1 World Championship. The car was designed by Patrick Head, partner with Frank Williams of the team. The Ford Cosworth DFV engine was very reliable at the time and the British team’s single-seat car took full advantage of the ground effect. The FW07 model competed for three consecutive seasons in the World Championships of 1979, 1980 and 1981. In the FW07B the two fins on the side bellies were removed, in front of the rear wheels present in the previous year’s version. Alan Jones with Williams – Ford Cosworth FW07B n.27 won the world title in 1980, while the team won the constructors title thanks to the points won by team-mate Carlos Reutemann.

During the season the australian driver won five grand prizes: GP Argentina, GP France, GP Great Britain, GP Canada, GP USA East. The season experienced the duel between Jones and Nelson Piquet on Brabham BT49, the two alternated at the head of the world rankings, but the victories of the last seasonal and contemporary grand prizes of the Brazilian were devisive for the conquest of the world title.
