Singer worked with Williams Engineering, which is probably why they use their F1 drivers for promos.

Williams Advanced Engineering now Fortescue was spun out of Williams F1, different companies owned by different owners. Singer worked with WAE for the engine on the DLS, Albon borrowed one a few years back.

It's nothing to do with Williams F1.

Singer worked with WAE when they were still a subsidiary of Williams. They now market the DLS as having F1-derived tech.

It has a lot to do with Williams F1.

Even the photo of just the engine looks fucking quick - I'd almost give up a chance to drive a 956 to drive one of these...

Actually, no.... the 956 still wins hands down as the dream car
