Williams could provide gearboxes to rival F1 teams

Williams' rival F1 teams could fit the hydraulic system and gearbox supplied by the Grove team in 2011. A spokesperson for the team confirmed the rumour.

Lotus would be close to a technical collaboration agreement with Renault for next year, while Williams would be an alternative for the other teams.

“We have received requests for our hydraulic systems and gearboxes, we are open to supplies, but we have not yet reached any agreement at the moment” said the Williams spokesperson.
