Prospects
Hopes to challenge Ferrari for the title with a new and more adventurous car than last year. Colombian Juan Pablo Montoya will be looking to win races after drawing a blank in 2002.
The BMW engine is likely to be the most powerful on the grid again but the team’s hopes will depend on how big a leap Ferrari has made with its new F2003-GA and how many surprises the new one-lap qualifying system throws up.
"Unless something suddenly goes wrong at Ferrari, it's unlikely that Williams will be world champions in 2003," says BMW's Austrian motorsport director Gerhard Berger.
