It's all change at Williams this year with two new drivers (albeit one promoted from the test role) and a switch of engine supplier marking something of a new era for the team. There's also fresh investment from the first outside shareholder to join Sir Frank Williams and Patrick Head, which can only be a positive.

In contrast to several of its rivals, there's been no underlying uncertainty surrounding the team, no doubts about the future. After a satisfactory but perhaps ultimately disappointing 2009 season, everyone has simply got on with the job of producing the FW32, and making it a little quicker than its predecessor.
