Yup, it's a rather modest place, quite a normal workplace in so many ways. Apparently the McLaren Technology Centre couldn't be more different... :D Thanks for the comment Pat!

I am a Williams fan and I'm just a bit jealous. Not so much about the cars because I saw them at Goodwood this year, but to have a factory tour.. impressive. I like their outlook on things. Not pretentious at all, just get on with the job. Glad to hear those impressions are true. A brilliant couple of posts!

The walrus nose was mentioned during the tour, and the story was more or less that Patrick Head never liked it very much, so yes I think they would probably rather disown it.

The most distinctive F1 car in the team’s history, the FW26 with the “walrus nose” is nowhere to be seen. It is perhaps not the team’s proudest design. I believe there is one FW26 at Donington Park's museum. Probably the others have been dispersed and your theory that Williams doesn't think much of it makes sense. There is a notable omission.
