01
The FW34 reunited Williams with Renault and wrapped the naturally aspirated V8 in a compact rear end. Its platform was not consistently easy to exploit, but strong traction and tyre use gave it genuine winning speed when the operating window aligned.
02
Pastor Maldonado converted pole into victory in Barcelona, giving Williams its first win since 2004. The season remained uneven, yet that afternoon proved the team could still design a car capable of beating the field on merit.
