The team's three drivers - Ralf Schumacher, Juan Pablo Montoya, and tester Marc Gené, unveiled the FW25 to an audience of eager journalists and team guests. The team boasted a completely new approach to the chassis design and an improved BMW V10 engine.
"It’s not a summit that will easily be conquered", says Team Principal Frank Williams, who can already look back on nine titles in the Formula 1 Constructors’ World Championship. But he is optimistic: "We are well prepared and completely determined to get to the top. We have a new, innovative chassis – the FW25 – ready. The new car is the product of a completely different way of thinking. And with the P83, BMW has developed another new and more powerful engine. With Juan Pablo Montoya and Ralf Schumacher we have two winning drivers ably assisted by a skilled and committed team."
"To achieve our aims", adds BMW Motorsport Director Mario Theissen, "we have built an even more powerful engine in Munich. Yet again, we were the first to test it on the track, even earlier than last year. The P83, like its two predecessors, is designed to be the most powerful engine in Formula 1. After managing to pass the threshold of 19,000 revolutions a minute in 2002, we intend to exceed this in 2003. At the same time, our ten-cylinder unit is set to become even more reliable next year.”
