The FW08, a historic car
Designed by Patrick Head and Franck Dernie, the Williams FW08 was the last car to win a Drivers' Championship with a Ford-Cosworth V8 and the last ground-effect car with miniskirts. Thanks to its extraordinary aerodynamics it was able to compete against the most powerful turbo engines: the rest was done by the perseverance of Rosberg, who won the title despite a single stage success (in Dijon).
