A beauty!

[theflyingwheel]

No to be disrespectful to Williams and I’m sure 99% of the people will dissagree but this combinations of colors is not so nice it gives me the idea that is one of those clown cars where 45 clowns exit from a small sized car.

[midgrid]

Looks familiar!

Color combi is a little weird. Rather they go all red and white but Williams blue identity disappearing might be weird too.

All they should have had blue outlines all over the car rather than just the nose. It's like 1+1 kind of livery now

By the way the car looks much more sophisticated than the previous version especially the side pods but the FW is still amateur

[zibby43]

Exceeded my expectations and love the livery.  Hope it's quick!

[midgrid]

[marcainley]

Livery's a slight improvement on last year's but still the worst on the grid.

 

Looks fast last.

[Gambelli]

I think I like it actually......

[Mc_Silver]

Sidepods look very bulky compared to Mercedes and Racing Point. They must have better season this year to bring back the motivation inside the team.

[CSF]

Really like the livery, reminds me of a mid 90s indycar.

[Peat]

I think I like it actually......

 Gawd, me too. 

[BertoC]

I quite like the livery, a lot more agressive and to the point than the awful fading degradê blue of last year.

[Gambelli]

 Gawd, me too. 

Yep, it's almost shameful right?

[ConsiderAndGo]

I.... really.... like.... the .... livery!

[Clrnc]

Sidepods look very bulky compared to Mercedes and Racing Point. They must have better season this year to bring back the motivation inside the team.

The bulk are all concentrated almost high up towards the air box, giving alot of undercut beneath to the diffusers. Interesting solution. Very small side pods opening.

[owenmahamilton]

The livery is a lot better than last years in my opinion, the way they have done the drivers number is a bit weird though, I thought at first it was a logo for a new sponsor until I realised it was a 63.

[JeePee]

That's a cool livery! Much, much better than last years

[Pete_f1]

Quite nice

[Anuity]

Must be one of the worst liveries from the last 10 years.
Cannot think of a Williams car with a worse scheme. Even 99 looked better.
Oh well, I hope the car is quicker at least.

[Jambo]

They did a good job livery wise at least, let's see what the car does.

[TomNokoe]

Great livery!

[PayasYouRace]

Looks familiar!

Thanks I knew it reminded me of something.

Good first impression on the livery but it just seems a bit "cheap" and random after a closer inspection. Still miles better than last year though.

Not so much the sidepods but the engine cover area behind.

That's the beauty of it!

[andrewf1]

Miles better than last year's MS Paint spray-can blue, this livery is a beauty! Clear lines, pretty colors. Hopefully it will be faster too.

[276159]

Odd livery, looks a bit like a well known toothpaste brand 

At least we have 8# very different liveries on the field

[Hela]

Livery looks good although car looks like it needs to lose a few pounds

[Boing 2]

Red, White and Blue, might attract some of that sweet, sweet Brexit money into the team.......

 

 

On a more serious note, good so see a decent amount of sponsorship, blue looks a litte cheap and awkward but jesus it's the only car beyond the Alpha Tauri whose livery has surprised me.

[Boing 2]

Unlike the front line guys they haven't gone for a narrow nose, hope that's not a sign of being a design generation behind.

It's probably not a good time to be experimenting. Stick to the basics.

[Pimpwerx]

Cheers, Williams fans. That car looks gorgeous. I think we're all hoping for the best, and that this signals the return of Williams to competitiveness.

[PayasYouRace]

Uh, why not? They don't have much to lose... 

 

They need to catch up, so they need to use concepts that they know work. Trying something and getting it wrong is just going to prolong being stuck at the back.

 

Anyway, Ferrari are still using a wider nose.

[RSRally]

Crikey, a proper livery! You can even read the sponsor names. So refreshing after all the other teams release exactly the same livery as last year..

[Boing 2]

Most of the width is in the nosecone itself so if the concept of the car allows for it the nose could be narrowed through the year i guess.

[noikeee]

I like it but don't love it.

 

It's just nice to see slightly different colors for once, apart from them and Alpha Tauri it's all just the same, boring.

[Baddoer]

What a blast. I'm sure it is much quicker than FW42.

[Tom87]

 

 

[TomNokoe]

If they can solve the draggy aero from last year, coupled with a boost from the Merc engine and a little extra downforce to get the tyres working ... they could see some big gains.

Russell for points in Australia

[Beri]

She looks amazing in the flesh.

[jradicals]

I thought there would be more prominent Sofina sponsorship with Latifi getting the race gig.

[ConsiderAndGo]

Looks so good on track.

[PayasYouRace]

I don’t see Sofina on the car. I guess they didn’t need much money from him.

I think from memory they said they would be on the back of the rear wing, but I was not anticipating that would be the only spot (if some rear shots confirm that one even exists).

I thought so too. Havent seen a shot from the rear of her tho.

[Peat]

Let's just take a moment to recognise that they have a car on track BEFORE the test this year. 

 

Progress!

I like how the placement of the red on the sidepod exaggerates the effect of the rake.
