Kellermann-Strauss Forum » win four straight constructors

SAO PAULO - Williams wants to follow Red Bulls model for success to be able to start winning again in Formula One.The traditional British team improved this season after years of struggles, moving a step closer to becoming a championship contender for the first time since it thrived in the late 1990s.To make that final jump back to its glory days, the team is looking to follow on footsteps of Red Bull, which put together a close-knit team that changed very little at its core and was eventually able to win four straight constructors and drivers championships.They started off some years back with not the quickest car and certainly not the best operation, said Rob Smedley, Williams head of vehicle performance. And right now, in terms of their chassis, they still have a fantastic chassis, in terms of how they operate, they operate very well — but its because the same core group was there for a long time. And thats what we have to do at Williams.Smedley arrived from Ferrari in the beginning of the year and helped in the teams restructuring.Weve got reasonably sensible people now, Smedley said on the eve of the Brazilian Grand Prix. Theres a good level of competence, a good level of young talent as well, which is always important. Its not just the people at the top end who make all the decisions but the people who actually do the work as well.Williams is third in the constructors championship with two races left, still with a chance to overcome Red Bull for second. Williams has finished fourth or worst in the championship every time since 2004. The team won nine constructors titles and seven drivers championships in the 1980s and 1990, with the last two trophies coming in 1997.The teams got to get back to being able to win, being ready to win, being pretty much ready to beat everybody, Smedley said. For the moment its working. Theres more to do. We have to go further but as long we stay on the road that were on, hopefully it will work out.He said the restructuring is a long term project.You have to change cultures and methodology within the team and, like Ive always said since I arrived at Williams, its very easy to change process, you can change process in a week, but its much more difficult to change culture, he said.Brazilian driver Felipe Massa has already felt some of the transformation.The team changed completely the organization, the mentality, Massa said. We are still changing, there are still some improvements we are working to be there before the first race of next year.I really believe in this team. This team has everything to be even more competitive, it has everything to be fighting for victories and I really, really hope, for championships as well.___Follow Tales Azzoni at http://twitter.com/tazzoni China Jerseys NFL .
