'Williams must lift game'

21 October 2005

Williams must return to form in 2005 or face a future in the doldrums, long time team co-owner Patrick Head has warned. The Grove based outfit, led by Sir Frank Williams, finished fifth in the '05 constructors' chase, failed to win a single grand prix, and is condemned to basically a customer engine supply in 2006.

"Williams cannot continue to survive as a competitive force in F1," the former technical director and today 'engineering director' was quoted as saying in a Reuters report, "with the sort of season we've had."

But he advised against writing off a team that last won the title eight years ago. Head added: "Anybody can keep running a team down until it's dead in the water, but that's not what Williams is about."
