The Williams Racing FW08B is one of the most unique and controversial cars in Formula 1 history. Designed with six wheels—four at the rear and two at the front—this experimental F1 car aimed to reduce drag and increase grip, offering a major performance advantage. Despite the advantage gained from having six wheels, the car never raced competitively. After just one test session, the FIA banned six-wheeled F1 cars, effectively ending the FW08B’s future on the grid. Despite its short life, the car remains a symbol of F1 innovation and the constant push for competitive edge within tight technical regulations. In this video, Jenson Button explores the fascinating story of the FW08B, breaking down the engineering behind its six-wheel design, its intended advantages, and why it was ultimately outlawed. For fans of F1 history, banned cars, and unusual f1 car designs, this is a rare behind-the-scenes look at one of the sport’s most ambitious designs.
