Nightmare haunts Williams
SAO PAULO, Sept 25: Williams made a nightmare return to the scene of their last Formula One victory on Sunday with their drivers colliding seconds after the start of the Brazilian Grand Prix. In a crash that brought out the safety car for one lap, Brazilian Antonio Pizzonia hit the Red Bull of Briton David Coulthard and then his own Australian team mate Mark Webber.
It was the second race in a row that Pizzonia, a stand-in for injured German Nick Heidfeld at the underperforming BMW-powered team, had failed to finish.
At the last Belgian Grand Prix he ran into the back of McLaren’s Colombian Juan Pablo Montoya, despite being a lap down, depriving that championship-challenging team of what would have been their first one-two finish in five years.
