Well, the 2025 Williams with its new headline sponsor has gone with a livery that is.... the same as last year, but it says 'Atlassian' across the back wing.
Shame its not something a little more interesting!
That's the 2025 car with the 2024 livery on it with extra Atlassian logos for a shakedown test. The 2025 livery will be shown at the O2 event. https://www.the-race.com/formula-1/williams-reveal...Shame its not something a little more interesting!
This O2 event has made things very confusing with which car and which livery is being shown when.

I have heard, via someone with hands-on experience at McLaren, that they are expecting big things from their suspension tweaks. He was spot on with his prediction of the upgrade last year, that transformed the car.https://www.formula1.com/en/latest/article/first-l...

Gary Anderson did a good summary on The Race' podcast yesterday. He mentioned on there aslong as they have the geometry right they should make a decent improvement

I just hope Alsatian of whatever they call themselves have a different colour in mind than the usual williams dark blue.
To be serious, I had never even heard of Atlassian but it will be money well spent if they become a well known name outside Austria.

OOI why would you prefer Atalassian not to use blue? To be serious, I had never even heard of Atlassian but it will be money well spent if they become a well known name outside Austria.

Ferrari say their car is 99% new. Alpine say they are using some 2024 parts to save costs, including the chassis. https://www.planetf1.com/news/alpine-2024-chassis-...

Williams must be on the 2023 car at this point.
