Williams were just clumsy, not cheating

FRANK Williams is adamant his team did not cheat in Sunday’s Canadian Grand Prix, but has conceded they were “very clumsy”.

After finishing second and fifth at the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve, Ralf Schumacher and Juan Pablo Montoya were disqualified as their BMW Williams cars were deemed to have illegal air ducts to the front brakes of their cars.

Technical director Sam Michael made a plea of mitigation that there was no performance gain, but the race stewards adhered to the regulations and declared the results of the Williams’ duo void.
