What might be at least close to the 2025 McLaren has hit the track.

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...

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.

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

New Williams FW47 looks like a sensible evolution- nose is more narrow, tighter at the back and 2025 Mercedes rear suspension (so pushrod). Best of all though, it's covered in sponsors and has two very capable drivers!

Plus the Williams is on time and reportedly at the target weight, which is a big improvement on last year…

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.

Yeah. Other than the red Veltins cars, Williams cars have been at least part blue since 1985. Keep the blue.

Indeed... and Atlassian corporate colors are also blue / white.
