By the way: am I correct that the above posted picture of the Williams Fw07 the car on the leftt is the 1980 model and on the right the 1979-model? The latter one has more that White Lotus 79 feel... 

 

 

I think you’re right. There isn’t much to differentiate between an A and B model of the FW07, but the B lacked the flip-ups ahead of the rear wheels.

 

I don't know what pictures you are referring to, but apart of some aero details, you can easily differentiate them because the 1980 model had big 'Leyland' stickers on the sidepods.

The one from Damon Hill’s instagram that I posted.

 

I wouldn’t always rely on livery to differentiate between cars. We’ve got a great thread on how wrong that can go.
