Williams reveal stunning 'iconic' retro livery for United States GP

Williams has become the fifth F1 team to unveil a special livery for the United States Grand Prix at the Circuit of the Americas.

Half the field will have a one-off livery adorn their car this weekend as F1 returns to Austin for the 19th round of the current season.

Following Haas, Racing Bulls, Aston Martin and McLaren, Williams released its changed look for the weekend, which has been inspired by the 2002 livery that was raced by Ralf Schumacher and Juan Pablo Montoya.

Referring to the throwback look as "iconic", the Grove-based squad confirmed it was in celebration of title sponsor Atlassian, which was founded in 2002.

Montoya, who drove the FW24 from 2002 to seven podium finishes that year, said: "It is incredible to think about how much has changed in F1 since 2002, but the key ingredients for success have remained the same: teamwork, innovation and a relentless determination to succeed.

"Williams has always stood for these values, and it is clear that in Atlassian, they have a partner that shares them. The throwback livery on the car looks amazing and is a great way to celebrate the partnership with Atlassian and the team’s ambition to return to the top step of the podium."

Carlos Sainz will race the FW47 in the special livery at COTA, alongside team-mate Alex Albon, as the nine-time constructors' champions look to build its 2025 strong campaign, which has yielded 102 points with a quarter of the season still to run.

That haul is already 18 more than the 84 points Williams achieved in the past seven years combined.

"The FW47 looks incredible in this 2002 retro livery, which I am sure will be a fan favourite, and I can’t wait to drive it at Austin this weekend," said Sainz.

"I have seen first-hand how Atlassian’s software and approach to teamwork is helping move the team forward, and I am excited about what the future holds."
