Watch LIVE – Williams unveils new 2025 F1 car

The Williams Formula 1 team is taking the covers off its 2025 challenger, the FW47, at a launch event in Silverstone.

Following McLaren’s Silverstone launch of the MCL39 on Thursday, Williams also headed to the British Grand Prix venue to showcase its new car to the world while holding a filming day for drivers Alexander Albon and Carlos Sainz.

Like its papaya counterpart, the Williams livery shown in the Grove team’s livestream on an older car has received a temporary black and blue design ahead of F1’s joint season launch at London’s O2 Arena on Tuesday, where all teams are expected to first unveil their definitive 2025 colour schemes.

The FW47, which is set to be unveiled during the livestream once it hits the circuit, is the second car produced under team principal James Vowles’ helm as he aims to get the once-successful team back to the front in Formula 1.

Having shored up its commercial portfolio with the signing of software firm Atlassian as its first title sponsor in five years, the 2025 season is expected to be another transitional year as Williams aims to hit the ground running with the all-new technical regulations.

While the team continues to undergo structural changes at thew factory, Albon and Ferrari signing Sainz are aiming to improve upon the team’s lowly ninth position in the 2024 constructors’ championship.
