Willliams will begin the year with a special fan-designed livery which will be on the car for testing in Barcelona later this month. Supporters from 162 countries cast almost 55,000 votes for the one-off design, part of Williams’ commitment to bringing fans closer than ever to the team.

On February 3 Williams will reveal the striking look it will carry for the rest of the season as the formidable driver pairing of Alex Albon and Carlos Sainz continue the mission to return to the front of the grid.

F1’s new regulations mean 2026 cars are all-new – shorter, lighter and designed for even closer racing. The biggest rule change in a generation is a reset opportunity, and Williams has been building towards it as the next step on the team’s path back to Championship contention.

The team enters 2026 with huge momentum, having enjoyed its most successful season for nine years in 2025. Williams finished fifth in the Constructors’ Championship with 137 points, secured podium finishes in Baku and Qatar, and took home its first-ever Sprint podium in Austin.

Fans should keep their eyes on WilliamsF1.com and the team’s social media channels for more updates ahead of launch day.
