I have heard good things about Red Bull as well, while BMW have failed to impress from what i've seen, so I suppose it will be an interesting battle in the early races.

Rosberg is one of the best on the grid in my opinion so with a good car I reckon we could be the best of the rest, especially if he qualifies like he did last year! :D So happy to see Williams picking up the pace.

But they've got to keep this great development pace if they to get to (or stay...) 3rd best team...BMW, Renault and Red Bull will be on their tails.

This is going to be their best season in a long time. Bring on the racing! Its great to see Williams getting back to where they belong, up at the sharp end.

They are renowned for their engineering expertise. Lets roll it out once again... Applause for Sir FW and Patrick Head!!! All the media wondered whether they will be back, what with sponsorship woes and all. Nice to have to back sir, it is nice!

Ala McLaren-Mercedes. Toyota does their engine, Williams does the winning. Speaking of which, it shows how good an engine that Toyota really is. It's just that its true potential is hidden by their duff of a chassis. I say, Toyota should sell off their assets and fund Williams instead! Ala McLaren-Mercedes.

Money is a useless tool if you do not know how to spend it ... Williams, Renault, BMW - there seems to be not much between them. Not sure how good the Red Bull is, their times may have something to do with empty fuel tanks ... Or not ... It can be exciting to have Nico Rosberg and Fernando Alonso on track in similarly good cars ... Nakajima looks like he really wants to grab the opportunity presented to him....

Williams, Renault, BMW – there seems to be not much between them. Not sure how good the Red Bull is, their times may have something to do with empty fuel tanks … Or not …

It can be exciting to have Nico Rosberg and Fernando Alonso on track in similarly good cars … Nakajima looks like he really wants to grab the opportunity presented to him….

If only Rosberg had a consistent pace, doubt would remain over the performance, whether it was more down to his incredible potential, than to his machinery... Is good for the sport to see a team like Williams on its way back to the top, and escaping from Lotus and Tyrrell's ultimate destiny. At least for the last twenty years, I can't remember when the three greats (Ferrari, McLaren and Williams) where a match for each other at the same season. I know 2008 won't be that, but perhaps in 2009 we can dream with a classic three-way battle for the Construtcors championship!
