The Williams FW19 is a relic of Formula 1’s golden era that clinched the 1997 World Championship with Jacques Villeneuve behind the wheel. The factory-built show car adorned in the iconic Rothmans livery.
Built on a carbon-fiber and honeycomb composite monocoque chassis, the FW19 featured groundbreaking weight-saving techniques and structural stiffness that made it a formidable contender on the grid. Powered by the Renault RS9 V10 engine, it produced a staggering 740 horsepower at a screaming 17,000 rpm, delivering a brutal soundtrack and lightning-fast acceleration. The engine’s 71-degree V-angle and precise engineering made it lighter and allowed a lower center of gravity than its predecessor key to enhancing handling and aerodynamics.
Williams’ pioneering six-speed transverse semi-automatic gearbox was compact and efficient, paired with a revised cooling system that improved airflow and reduced drag. Designed by the legendary Adrian Newey, the FW19 was not just powerful but elegantly efficient with double wishbone suspension, AP Racing carbon disc brakes, and Goodyear tires gripping the circuits.
The Rothmans livery, with its striking blue, white, and gold hues, evokes nostalgia and racing heritage, marking Villeneuve’s remarkable season where he clashed fiercely with Michael Schumacher, winning seven Grands Prix and the world title in a season of intense drama and rivalry.
