You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 44.203.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪ST47‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a web host's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and they should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 23:54, 31 July 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

The '''Williams FW28''' was the car with which the [[WilliamsF1|Williams]] team competed in the ((F1|2006)) [[Formula One]] season. The drivers were [[Mark Webber (racing driver)|Mark Webber]] and rookie [[Nico Rosberg]], the reigning [[GP2 Series]] champion. Webber was in his second year with the team, and teammate Nico Rosberg carried a hint of nostalgia, as Nico's father [[Keke Rosberg|Keke]] had won the ((F1|1982)) F1 championship in a Cosworth-engined Williams.

However, 2006 was very disappointing for the team. The car was dogged by a handling problem which affected the cars on the entry to corners. Despite the effectiveness of the Cosworth engine, the [[Bridgestone]] tyres and the two drivers, the FW28 could only display brief flashes of promise. Too often this promise was compromised by poor reliability - an embarrassment for a team that prided itself on engineering excellence.

The car seemed competitive at the beginning of the year when the cars scored a double points finish with Rosberg setting the [[fastest lap]] of the race on his F1 début at the [[2006 Bahrain Grand Prix|Bahrain Grand Prix]]. An excellent second-row qualifying performance at [[2006 Malaysian Grand Prix|Sepang]] was wasted when both cars suffered engine failures, and the season went downhill from there. Exceptions were [[2006 Australian Grand Prix|Australia]] and [[2006 Monaco Grand Prix|Monaco]], both races where Webber looked a contender for at least a podium finish until retiring on both occasions with hydraulics failure and an exhaust fire respectively.

A note of significance for Webber and Williams came on lap 21 of the [[2006 Australian Grand Prix]]. By leading the lap Webber became the first Australian to have led his home grand prix since the last non-championship AGP was held in [[1984 Australian Grand Prix|1984]].

Williams finished eighth in the Constructors' Championship - the team's lowest finish since its inaugural season in ((F1|1978)). Unhappy by the team's reliability problems, Webber departed the team at the end of the season to join [[Red Bull Racing]].

==Livery==
Williams went into the 2006 season with renewed major sponsorships such as [[Allianz]], [[Royal Bank of Scotland|RBS]], [[FedEx]], [[Reuters]], [[Oris (watches)|ORIS]], [[Hamleys]], [[Budweiser (Anheuser-Busch)|Budweiser]], [[Petrobras]] and [[Castrol]]. Williams received new sponsorship such as Mobilecast, [[Tata Group]] and discontinued sponsorships are [[Hewlett & Packard]]. While it retained the dark blue on white scheme, the stylized "kidney grille" was gone from the nose with the loss of BMW as engine supplier.

== FW28B ==
The Williams FW28B is an interim version of the FW28 the team used to prepare for the 2007 season. After an obviously disappointing 2006, Williams decided to opt for Toyota engines for 2007 and therefore built the FW28B. The car is similar to the FW28 in all aspects except for being powered by Toyota's 2006 engine, the RVX-06.

During winter practice, the team also experimented with new front wings and other aerodynamic parts which helped the development of their new car FW29 car.<ref>((Cite web|url=https://www.f1technical.net/f1db/cars/928/williams-fw28b|title=Williams FW28B|website=www.f1technical.net|access-date=25 November 2021))</ref>
