Williams assemble F1 Avengers in 'biggest challenge' against supervillain

Williams has announced a "landmark" collaboration with some of the Marvel film universe's biggest characters.

Iron Man, Captain America, and Black Widow will join forces with drivers Alex Albon, Carlos Sainz, and the team boss James Vowles to battle Doctor Doom in a bid to "save the racing season."

The comic book one-shot will be available from June's Monaco Grand Prix, with special event exclusive covers available at the British, Spanish (Madrid), Singapore, Austin, and Las Vegas Grands Prix, with pre-orders available at this weekend's Miami GP. 

A "host of other Marvel stars" will also join in the battle with Doctor Doom, with the story set "in the midst of the racing season."

"Alex and Carlos are already heroes to our millions of fans, and now they get to prove it in print by uniting with the Marvel Super Heroes to save racing from Doctor Doom," explained Williams, director of merchandise and licensing, Luke Timmins. 

"We are proud to be bringing these two universes together for the first time, and hope it gives fans another way to find and fall in love with our iconic Williams F1 Team. 

"There is no better place than Miami to launch a unique collaboration like this, and with special edition covers for races around the world the story is only just beginning."
