How are Cosworth Cack ??? The Williams have been really good this year. The V8 Cosworth engine is rumoured to be one of the most powerful this year. Prodrive would do well to buy there engines from Cosworth.
As for Toyota. Why people (Williams) want Toyota engines are beyond me. Toyota are not going to provide competition with the same engines as their own cars. Look at Red Bull, do you honestly believe their engines are the exact same spec as the ones in the Ferrari's??? Not a chance.

Cosworth are very good at building V8's. It has been rumoured that Red Bull might be looking at buying cosworth, so they don't have to rely on customer engines ie. less powerful engines.

i have to agree, although they did have one set back this season but apart from that look to be on form.

but f1 is all about aerodynamics, and the big companies are using some extreamly expensive wind tunnels which can take years to build.
i think this will be there biggest challenge as they are designing the chasis themselfs.

Indeed the BAR Honda team that Dave Richards was principal of, had some very good results. He knows what he's doing, so with a good engine package should do very well I hope.
