New BAR 'must win' - Willis
17 December 2004F1 team BAR 'must start winning' next season, technical director Geoff Willis warned. The Englishman admitted to British channel ITV that the Honda-powered 006 was perhaps not good enough to finish higher than second or third in grands prix 'on merit' in 2004.
Willis said the new 007 is an 'evolution' - rather than an all-new concept - of the current car. He added: "But it's quite a lot more sophisticated -- I've really been impressed by what the design team have done."
Sceptics say Brackley-based BAR, despite finishing second to Ferrari in the '04 constructors', is not yet worthy of a 'big four-or-five' label. "I think we can design a better car than Williams or McLaren," Geoff counters, "and in many areas our (current) car is superior to the Ferrari."
