The Spaniard enjoyed a positive opening campaign with the squad, scoring two podiums across the year.

“The FW48 livery is a real statement of our intent for 2026,” Sainz said. 

“The design celebrates Atlassian Williams F1 Team’s heritage while embracing a fresh, dynamic look for the new era. 

“I’m excited to race in this livery and to share the thrill with fans around the world - their support makes all the difference as we continue on our journey together.”
