Williams to target Newey

UPDATE Rumors are increasing that Adrian Newey has already been in talks with Sir Frank Williams and Patrick Head and it seems more and more likely that he will end up in his old role with his old team, as chief aerodynamicist. However, at this stage of negotiations, nobody at Williams wants to comment on the situation, but nobody is denying it either. 08/15/04 Having had to remodel its losing Walrus nose FW26 ahead of this weekend’s Hungarian Grand Prix, the Williams team has admitted that it would like to see former designer Adrian Newey back in the fold. Team boss Frank Williams admitted to BBC Online that he would be interested in trying to lure the McLaren designer Adrian Newey back to Grove, confirming paddock rumours suggesting that talks had already taken place. Williams denied that he had approached Newey, whose McLaren contract expires next season.
