Atlassian Williams F1 Team will officially unveil the racing livery for its 2026 challenger, the FW48, on Tuesday 3 February – revealing a new look for the team in Formula 1’s all-new regulations era.
We will begin the year with a special fan-designed livery which will be on the car for testing in Barcelona later this month. Supporters from 162 countries cast almost 55,000 votes for the one-off design, part of Williams’ commitment to bringing fans closer than ever to the team.
On February 3, we will reveal the striking look that will be carried for the rest of the season as the formidable driver pairing of Alex Albon and Carlos Sainz continue the mission to return to the front of the grid.
F1’s new regulations mean 2026 cars are all-new – shorter, lighter and designed for even closer racing. The biggest rule change in a generation is a reset opportunity, and Williams has been building towards it as the next step on the team’s path back to Championship contention.
We enter 2026 with huge momentum, having enjoyed our most successful season for nine years in 2025. A tally of 137 points secured a fifth-place finish in the Constructors’ Championship, with podium finishes in Baku and Qatar, and a first-ever Sprint podium in Austin.
Fans should keep their eyes on WilliamsF1.com, our app, and our social media channels for more updates ahead of launch day.
