1981 Williams FW07C Reutemann

The FW07B evolved into the FW07C for 1981, and further work was done to the suspension, especially after the FIA banned the moveable skirts needed for effective ground effect. The hydraulic suspension systems were developed by Jones, who hated the rock hard suspension. The car was very competitive and won four Grand Prix (USA West and Ceasars Palace by Alan Jones and Brazil and Belgium by Carlos Reutemann). Argentinian driver finished the season runner-up losing the championship by one point to Nelson Piquet in the very last race of the year. Jones was third in just three points behind Reutemann.
