The Williams F1 team aren’t due to reveal the FW32, their 2010 racecar, until Monday’s first 2010 test session at Valencia. But that hasn’t stopped a couple of intrepid wannabe spies from posting some spy footage to YouTube (available below after the break). The video was filmed recently at Silverstone and shows the car being unloaded from its transporter before technicians worked on the car from a makeshift tent. The team’s rookie driver Nico Hülkenberg then took the FW32 for a brief shakedown. Watch the clip and tell me what you reckon of the car’s engine note.
All eyes to Valenica then, which will see the reveal of the Sauber and Renault cars tomorrow before official testing begins on Monday. That’s when we will see the FW32, officially, for the first time, along with the new Mercedes GP silver arrows.
In other news Williams have signed 20-year-old Finn Valtteri Bottas as the team’s test driver.

If you think this was a “spy” footage, then you are more naive than me. That was released by Williams for sure! Look at how they were able to film all the critical shots of inside the tent and of the car when it was running. As if!
I agree with WAY, this has to be a viral marketing video released by someone within Williams. It’s still cool though. I thought it was funny that they transported the actual car in a non-descript trailer being towed by an equally as non-descript van. If you passed that on the motorway you’d never guess it was carrying a Formula 1 car.
I was just playing nice so Rubens didn’t cry. 😉
