WILLIAMS RACING 2023 SEASON LAUNCH
Williams Racing revealed their sleek new car livery and Gulf Oil partnership for the 2023 season.
On 6th February 2023 we were at the Williams Experience Centre press day for their 2023 season launch. As you can imagine there were a lot of people, press & some social influencers at this event. We had quite a lot of people racing around our giant Scalextric we have installed at Williams Racing HQ. We also had Sky Sports F1’s Craig Slater spend some time with us.
Williams revealed their updated livery for their FW45, adorned with new sponsors such as Gulf Oil; Alex Albon and rookie team-mate Logan Sargeant aiming to lift team up standings in 2023 after a poor five years; Williams also have a new team principal in James Vowles, the highly-respected Mercedes strategy chief, who starts on February 20th 2023. .
The most notable addition to the FW45 livery is the Gulf logo, with the oil company joining forces with another F1 team after its partnership with McLaren ended in 2022. Many had speculated that the Williams car may feature more of the famous blue and orange Gulf colours. CLICK HERE for more information
“This signifies the strength of our brand and commercial offerings as we continue our transformation,” said Matthew Savage, Chairman of the Board at Williams. “Gulf and Williams Racing share an illustrious motorsport heritage and, together, we are making history with this partnership.”
Williams, one of the most successful F1 teams of all-time but backmarkers in recent years, have been going through their “transformation” since Dorilton Capital acquired the team from the legendary Sir Frank Williams in 2020. Alex Albon returns for his second year with the team this year and will be partnered by rookie team-mate Logan Sargeant, F1’s first American driver since 2016.
