    Williams Racing reveals the fan voted livery for the F1 races in Singapore, Japan and Qatar in association with Gulf Oil International.

    Williams has revealed the fan voted Gulf livery that will be used by the Grove-based F1 team in the races in Singapore, Japan and Qatar. The one chosen by the fans is ‘Bolder than Bold’ which defeated the likely favourite Heritage livery.

    From the four designs shared by Williams, the three rounds saw over 180,000 fan votes with Bolder than Bold eventually winning the bid. The final round saw a close win for Bolder than Bold where it collected 51.9% against Heritage’s 49.1%.

    Before it makes its official debut in September, the liver will be showcased during Goodwood Festival of Speed on July 13-16. Williams are already celebrating their 800th grand prix with a slightly revised livery used in British GP.

    “We are extremely proud of our partnership with Williams Racing and this livery is marking an iconic moment in motorsport history,” said Gulf Oil’s Mike Jones. The campaign has been a huge success and sparked excitement for both Gulf and Williams fans alike. Providing the fans with the power to control this competition has hugely influenced the results.

    “Gulf’s iconic colours have created four incredible liveries with one standout winner chosen by the fans, Bolder than Bold, which will now be inscribed into Gulf’s rich motorsport history.”

    At the same times James Vowles added: “This competition was an incredible opportunity for our fans to actively engage and shape the visual identity of our team. The winning design encapsulates the essence of the Gulf and Williams Racing partnership, reflecting on the past but building on our future. This livery will create a defining moment when it takes to the track later in the season.”
