FW15C — The FW15C did not have paddle shifters; it used a sequential gearshift lever on the steering wheel, not true paddle shifters as commonly understood.
FW16 — Jacques Villeneuve did not drive the FW17 in 1995; he drove the FW19 in 1996 and 1997, and his maiden Grand Prix win was at the 1996 European Grand Prix, not the 1995 Pacific Grand Prix.
FW16 — The lore mentions 'Jacques Villeneuve drove the FW17 in 1995' which is incorrect as the FW17 was driven by Damon Hill and David Coulthard in 1995, not Villeneuve.
FW07B — The claim that the FW07B was 'the primary weapon for Carlos Reutemann in the latter part of 1980' is misleading because Alan Jones also used the FW07B in some races, including winning the 1980 Canadian Grand Prix with it, and Jones won the 1980 title with the
FW14B — The 'DID YOU KNOW' section states that the FW14B was not one of the few cars to feature active suspension, which is factually incorrect; active suspension was rare in the early 1990s and Williams was a pioneer.
FW07C — The FW07C was introduced at the 1981 Italian Grand Prix: The FW07C actually debuted at the 1981 British Grand Prix, not the Italian Grand Prix.
FW07C — Keke Rosberg secured the 1982 World Drivers' Championship in the early races before switching to the FW08: Rosberg won the 1982 championship driving the FW07C for the entire season; the FW08 was introduced later in 1982 but Rosberg did not switch to it mid-sea
Nigel Mansell Championship Title — The entry states Mansell won the first five races of the season, but that is correct; however, the flag incorrectly claims the Hungarian Grand Prix was not won by Mansell—it was won by Mansell in 1992, not Senna.
Nigel Mansell Championship Title — The claim that Mansell became the first driver to win a World Championship with 9 victories in a single season is incorrect because he was the first to achieve 9 wins in a season, but the phrasing 'first to win a championship with 9 wins' is ambiguous and coul
Alan Jones World Championship — The championship was clinched at the 13th round of the season, the Canadian Grand Prix, with three races remaining. This is incorrect: the 1980 season had 14 rounds, and the Canadian Grand Prix was the 13th round, leaving only one race remaining (the United St
Patrick Head Technical Partnership — The FW14B did not have traction control; traction control was introduced on the FW15C.
Patrick Head Technical Partnership — Patrick Head was not the co-designer of the FW14B and FW15C; Adrian Newey was the lead designer of those cars.
