The BMW-Williams F1 team has announced that they will revert to a more 'traditional' nose profile at the Hungarian Grand Prix next weekend, dropping the distinct 'walrus design', which first appeared on the FW26, at its lunch this year.

"The team will present its cars in Hungary with some aero modifications, including a return to a more conventional nose and front wing solution," confirmed team boss, Sir Frank Williams.

A team statement added:

"Juan Montoya and Antonio Pizzonia's FW26 racecars will appear visually distinct in Hungary, with a revised, and more 'traditional', nose profile which has been validated as an improved geometry in relation to the other aerodynamic improvements released at recent races.

"The change represents the constant aero evolution of the FW26, and the redoubled commitment to drive competitive margin into the car for the final third of the season."
