WILLIAMS FW42 - INTRODUCING THE NEW LOOK

The Williams team will have a new look in 2019, which became apparent after today's livery presentation, held at their base in Grove. The car has a revised color scheme, in which the blue, black and white colors will dominate the upcoming season. It is a commendable fact that the team has found a new title sponsor - ROKiT, a British Telecommunications Company.

Jonathan Kendrick, Chairman of ROK Brands said: "With ROKiT launching in 2019 we wanted a global platform that would help us tell our story of innovation. Williams Racing is the perfect partner. With them we can bring F1 to audiences in new and pioneering ways. Through our glasses-free 3D technology and our Wi-Fi capabilities, we aim to make Formula One even more accessible for all."

"Williams Racing exists purely to race in the top echelon of motor racing and we see the exciting partnership of ROKiT Williams Racing as the beginning of an ambitious and exciting road back to the podium."

Claire Williams, Deputy Team Principal, added: "We are delighted to welcome ROKiT to our team as our title partner for the 2019 season and beyond. We share many similar values and aspirations with ROKiT, primarily putting engineering and innovation at the core of everything we do in our pursuit to be the best, the perfect platform from which to start a partnership."

"ROKiT is on an exciting journey in their world of telecommunications, as we are at Williams as we build the team for a successful future. Taking that path together will make us both stronger in our endeavours and so I can’t wait to get started."

Williams fans will have to wait a little longer to see the real FW42, which will be driven by last year's Formula 2 champion, George Russell and F1 returnee Robert Kubica. They will have the task to improve last year's last place in the general classification of the constructors.

Williams' team will have their first chance to evaluate their performance against their rivals during the first pre-season test session on the Catalunya circuit, which begins on February 18.
