Williams FW21


The Williams FW21 was the car the Williams Formula One team used to compete in the 1999 Formula One season. It was driven by Ralf Schumacher, who had swapped from Jordan with Heinz-Harald Frentzen, and Alessandro Zanardi who had last raced in Formula One in 1994, but had since won the CART championship twice.
Although Schumacher had a successful season and was a consistent front-runner, Zanardi struggled all season with the handling characteristics of the grooved-tyre F1 car and failed to score a point. He was dropped at the end of the year in favour of Formula Three driver Jenson Button. This was also the team's last season using a Renault engine until one was fitted in the race winning FW34 in 2012; with a new works deal with BMW being activated for the 2000 season.
Williams used 'Winfield' logos, except at the French, British and Belgian Grands Prix. The team eventually finished fifth in the Constructors' Championship, with 35 points, all scored by Ralf Schumacher.
