The Williams FW26 was a Formula One racing car designed and built by Williams Grand Prix Engineering for the 2004 season, known for its distinctive walrus nose in early iterations. It was driven by Ralf Schumacher, Juan Pablo Montoya, Antônio Pizzonia and Marc Gené, and it was the last Williams designed under Patrick Head's supervision. The nose was a short, stubby cone connected to the front wing by sloping vertical spars to give more airflow to the underside, and the car used a twin-keel front suspension. The FW26 proved fast in pre-season testing, but during the season it was difficult to set up and inconsistent, and it was outpaced by the Renaults and BARs of the time and by the Ferrari F2004.
