Williams reveals its 2016 F1 challenger

Williams has become the primary Formula 1 team to show pictures of its 2016 automobile.
The Grove-based squad, which finished in third-place in the constructors' standings a year ago, had suggested by the end of 2015 that its new FW38 would be "somewhat" diverse.
The automobile, however, functions the same red, white and blue stripes sported on the previous years as well as the short nose launched last period.
The sidepods as well as the air-intakes have altered considerably compared to this past year's model, as well as both pictures released indicate the back differs also.
"Williams has begun to cement our standing back between the the frontrunning groups after finishing third in the tournament before two seasons," mentioned team boss Frank Williams.
"This is a great accomplishment given the sources of these around us. Remaining where we're will be challenging alone, but we're determined to keep enhancing because just winning will actually be sufficient.
"We employ a steady team starting 2016, with Felipe and Valtteri teaming up for a third consecutive season. They function well together and equally have the best combination of pace and consistency.
"Our specialized staff has also stayed quite consistent which is going to be to our benefit and we've a few of the finest engineering heads on the grid at our disposal."
Williams keeps an unchanged lineup for the third-year in a row, with Felipe Massa partnering Valtteri Bottas.
"Procuring third in the Constructors' Championship for 2 successive years is an excellent accomplishment and one that comes with lots of anticipation - a impetus which I 'm thrilled to develop on-going to the brand new season," mentioned Massa.
"The staff in the manufacturing plant have worked extremely hard on the newest automobile and we've spent lots of time knowing where we should enhance. I've lots of trust in the staff at Williams and I am getting excited about getting behind the wheel of the FW38 to observe the way that it performs.
"I am equally pleased to be team-mates with Valtteri for another yr. He's an extremely talented driver who delivers a great deal to the staff."
The Mercedes-run FW38 will take to the monitor when screening begins at Barcelona on Monday.
Bottas will take charge of driving the automobile in its first community appearance.
