Williams unveil striking F1 livery for Mexican GP

Williams has unveiled the one-off livery it will use for the Mexico City Grand Prix this weekend.

The Grove-based squad has added a dash of yellow to the usual blue and black design that has been used throughout the year.

The new livery uses its sponsor Mercado Libre’s yellow branding on the engine cover, with Williams also outlining it is a nod to its history, having run the yellow colour in the past.

It marks the first time Williams' engine cover has been painted yellow in 36 years - it was present from 1983 to 1993, a period that saw it win 55 grands prix as well as three drivers' and constructors' championships.

“Williams Racing and Mercado Libre are two brands synonymous with speed, trust and innovation, and this eye-catching engine cover is the perfect way to celebrate our partnership,” said James Bower, Commercial Director, Williams Racing.

“Yellow livery designs hold a special place in Williams’ storied history and it is great to see the colour return to our cars with one of Latin America’s leading technology companies.”

Williams enters the weekend looking to add points to its tally after scoring a 10th place with Franco Colapinto last week in the USA.
