| | HP Press Release: HP Technology Gives BMW WilliamsF1 Team Flying Start to 2005 Season |
 | | At the launch of the 2005 BMW WilliamsF1 Team car, the FW27, HP announced that the WilliamsF1 design team was able to assess twice as many aerodynamic models in computational fluid dynamics this year than ever previously possible, thus allowing the team to investigate the optimal design for the car. |
 | | Sam Michael, technical director at WilliamsF1, explained some of the technological input made by HP: "Prediction, using computational fluid dynamics, was our main tool to assess the implications of the new FIA rules for the 2005 season, and to consider a wide range of potential solutions. |
 | | WilliamsF1 engineers are using the HP Labs utility computing facility to take structural and crash analysis to a new level of fidelity by creating sophisticated models of carbon fiber, which demands a tenfold increase in computer power. |
