Williams chief: we can still challenge for title

TECHNICAL DIRECTOR Patrick Head insists Williams can challenge for the world championship this year as he hit back at critics of the team.

The Grove-based outfit are currently equal third in the constructors' standings with Renault but 29 points behind Ferrari who lead by just one point from McLaren.

Williams have secured just one podium finish this season with Juan Pablo Montoya's second place at the season opener in Australia with the FW25 having come in for criticism, including from engine partners BMW.
