Time to put your money on Williams for F1 title. 2014 maybe?

Before you say, โ€œYouโ€™re crazy,โ€ check this out:

"

Porsche plans to launch a hybrid version of every model in its range in a bid to reduce its fleet average CO2 emissions.

This is according to the firmโ€™s development chief Wolfgang Dรผrheimer. โ€œIn the future we will have hybrid drive in every model,โ€ he told Auto News.

"

That comes from Autocar, and while it doesnโ€™t mention the Williams flywheel KERS system, that is whatโ€™s on Porscheโ€™s hybrid racer, so why not the Cayenne and Panamera?

And if so, then Williams suddenly has a nice new stream of revenue coming in. It has, after all, been grabbing more tightly onto the hybrid part of the business.

Soโ€ฆ hereโ€™s what we have. Either Williams can up its development budget nicely or it can up its development budget nicely and have a best-in-F1 KERS system all ready and well tested when F1 brings KERS back.

On second thought, how about Williams โ€™013?

Well, thatโ€™s unless Porsche returns to F1 and doesnโ€™t partner with Sir Frank.
