Williams has confirmed that it has agreed to supply the Hispania team with its proprietary gearbox technology.
The arrangement will commence to support Hispania's 2011 programme and will extend for the lifecycle of the current Cosworth engine technology.
"This is a logical partnership given Williams and Hispania's mutual relationship with Cosworth," said Williams F1 CEO, Alex Burns. "Our gearbox technology has consistently proven itself as both competitive and reliable, and hence this agreement will be a positive development for both organisations."
"This technical partnership is a significant step forward for Hispania to improve its performance," added Hispania team principal, Colin Kolles. "We are very happy to do this with an engineering company and race team like Williams F1 which has an impressive track record and astonishing heritage."
