The Williams FW36 is a Formula One racing car designed by Williams Grand Prix Engineering to compete in the 2014 Formula One season.[6] It was driven by Valtteri Bottas and Felipe Massa, who replaced the departing Pastor Maldonado.[5]
Force India and Williams also use Petronas, and are therefore at an advantage.
