Hispania to adopt Williams gearbox

Abu Dhabi - Williams F1 Tuesday confirmed it has agreed to supply Hispania Racing F1 Team with its proprietary gearbox technology.

The arrangement will start with Hispania Racing's 2011 programme and will extend for the life of the current Cosworth engine technology, a team spokesman said.

Williams F1's CEO Alex Burns said: "This is a logical partnership given Williams and Hispania's mutual relationship with Cosworth."

"Our gearbox technology has consistently proven itself as both competitive and reliable, and hence this agreement will be a positive development for both organisations," he said.
