Williams Launch 2017 Car

WILLIAMS LAUNCH FW40

    Williams have launched their challenger for their 40th season in Formula One.

    Like every team to have launched their car so far, the new regulations have radically changed the Williams’ bodywork. The car is wider than their 2016 challenger, and features a shark fin. One thing that hasn’t changed is the thumb at the end of the long nose.

    With Martini once again the team’s main sponsor, the FW40’s paintjob isn’t wildly different to its predecessor’s, though it does feature the orange logo of new sponsor JCB.

    The team are aiming to pick up again after losing fifth in the championship to Force India, but the team’s head of performance engineering, Rob Smedley, has already said he doesn’t expect there to be much of a mix up of the order.

    Drivers Felipe Massa and Lance Stroll will split testing duties next week, alternating days with Massa behind the wheel first.
