The Williams FW07-C was a refinement of the previous year's car, A result of changed regulations for 1981 as the governing body decided to ban sliding skirts in an attempt to slow the cars through corners. Technically the Williams FW07-C was small, light and neatly packaged. The main design change though was the new stiffer Tub and fixed skirts.
This time it was Carlos Reutemann not defending champion Alan Jones who would challenge Nelson Piquet and the BT49-C for the title but with only four wins for the team Carlos could only finish the 1981 F1 Championship in Second behind the Brazilian. Williams were however able to win the Manufacturer’s title.
