WILLIAMS: LEANING TO THE LEFT
All Mercedes customer teams use an air-to-air intercooler, which is placed inside one of their car’s sidepods. At Williams, the system (see the yellow outline) sits on the left alongside a small oil cooler, whereas there is a bigger radiator inside the right flank.
This asymmetrical installation means that Williams had to carefully assess the level of airflow resistance on both sidepods to ensure optimum car balance.
