Williams Racing shares more photos and video from the shakedown of its F1 2025 machinery – the FW47 – at Silverstone.
After McLaren carried out its launch on Thursday at Silverstone, Williams followed it up with an extensive programme for the F1 fans. They held a proper launch of the FW47 at the circuit, which included a shakedown cum filming run ahead of livery launch.
Like McLaren, they ran a camo livery considering the group livery launch scheduled for February 18 at O2 arena in London. While there will be updates whether in Bahrain pre-season test or the first round in Australia, the team had their base car ready.
Carlos Sainz got the first chance to drive the FW47 – brief part of which was shown live co-inciding with the launch event. He carried on to undertake more laps after the live was closed, with Alexander Albon then taking over in the afternoon to complete the day.
