Williams has a new livery
Williams has unveiled its new livery ahead of the first race of the Formula 1 season in Austria next week.
Deputy Team Principal Claire Williams signalled the British outfit’s intention to tweak their look following the early end to their relationship with title sponsor Rokit, which was revealed last month, and today the team unveiled the new livery.
The revamped white-and-blue livery features an increased branding presence from Canadian food company Sofina, and global technology company Acronis.
The front of the rear wing features the Williams name. Though this could obviously be replaced if the team finds another major sponsor.
The new Williams colours come ahead of a campaign where the team hopes to turn around its fortunes after two troubled campaigns where it has finished last in the constructors’ championship.
It will race with George Russell and Nicholas Latifi this year.
George was impressive in the lockdown Virtual GPs, winning the title and highlighting his potential. Although we do not expect him to be a regular at the podium in a Williams car.
Formula 1 in 2020
The season begins next month in Austria, but much of the schedule is still uncertain due to the coronavirus pandemic.
There will be two races in Austria, one in Hungary and then two in the UK to kick the season off.
Races in Spain, Belgium and Italy will follow but as it stands there are only eight races on the calendar.
