Williams have confirmed on social media that the team will be undertaking a test at the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya – the home of the Spanish Grand Prix. 

The Grove-based team posted a video of the FW45 – its 2023 car – leaving the pit lane in Barcelona, before an on-screen caption confirmed a test was "incoming". 

It will mark Carlos Sainz's first test as a full-time Williams driver, despite having driven for the British outfit in the post-season Abu Dhabi test last year. 

Williams' test comes ahead of its February 14 launch of its 2025 challenger, the FW47. When it unveils its car at Silverstone, a one-off camo livery will be used. 

This is because all 10 liveries on the grid for the upcoming season will be unveiled on February 18 at F175, the special livery launch event taking place in London at the O2 Arena.
