The car proved competitive, but was no match for the dominant Ferrari F2002.
Ralf Schumacher scored the team's only win of the season in Malaysia.
Juan Pablo Montoya set an impressive run of five consecutive pole positions with the car in midseason, and completed the then fastest lap of any circuit in Formula 1 history during qualifying, setting pole position at Monza for the Italian Grand Prix (on a track that favours engine power) with a lap average of 161.449 mph (259.827 km/h), completing the lap in 1:20.264, breaking the record previously set by former Williams driver Keke Rosberg at the 1985 British Grand Prix at Silverstone who lapped at an average of 160.9 mph (258.9 km/h) in his Honda turbo powered Williams FW10.
