Background
[edit]Livery
[edit]The 2025 livery was unveiled on 18 February 2025 at the F1 75 Live event at The O2 Arena with the other teams.[4]
Competition and development history
[edit]During pre-season testing at Bahrain International Circuit, new signee Sainz set the fastest time.[5]
The Australian Grand Prix saw both Williams cars enter Q3, with Albon qualifying sixth and Sainz tenth. However, Sainz experienced a torque issue with his car that sent him into the wall and into retirement. The lone Williams of Albon finished in fifth, the team's highest finishing result since the rain-affected 2021 Belgian Grand Prix.[6]
