The Williams FW28 was the car with which Williams competed in the 2006 Formula One season, driven by Mark Webber, in his second year with the team, and rookie Nico Rosberg, the reigning GP2 Series champion. It was the first V8-powered Williams car since the FW12 in 1988, with a Cosworth engine, and the first Williams on Bridgestone tyres since the FW22 in 2000. A handling problem on corner entry and poor reliability made 2006 very disappointing for the team, and the car could only display brief flashes of promise. Rosberg set the fastest lap of the race on his Formula One debut at the Bahrain Grand Prix. An interim FW28B was used to prepare for the 2007 season.
