ℹ️ About Williams launch
The Williams launch event at Silverstone showcased the new FW47 F1 car with a special camouflage livery. Atlassian Williams Racing later revealed their 2025 season colors at the F1 75 Live event in London. The Williams launch marks a new chapter for the Grove-based team with their driver lineup of Alex Albon and Carlos Sainz Jr.
The FW47 features several technical improvements, including a more progressive sidepod design and completely re-profiled floor edges with aggressive vortex generators. Williams launched this car with clear goals: better high-speed downforce, improved aerodynamic efficiency, and reduced wind sensitivity.
The Williams launch represents the team's continued partnership with Mercedes, using their 1.6-liter V6 turbocharged hybrid engine. The FW47 incorporates the latest-spec 2025 pushrod Mercedes gearbox configuration and a newly adopted pushrod rear suspension layout.
Williams F1 has a rich history dating back to 1977. The team has won 9 Constructors' Championships and 7 Drivers' Championships. Under new leadership with Team Principal James Vowles and Chief Technical Officer Pat Fry, the Williams launch signals their focus on climbing back up the grid.
The Williams launch demonstrates the team's strategic approach to the 2025 season, as they aim to secure the position of "best of the rest" behind the top four teams. This Williams F1 event provides fans with a first look at the machinery that will carry the legacy of one of Formula 1's most historic teams forward.
