Williams F1, which underwent a rebrand this year, revealed its 2026 livery on Tuesday, February 3, 2026. Marking the Grove-based team as the eighth team to officially launch their 2026 contender.
This follows Red Bull, Racing Bulls, Haas, Audi, Mercedes, Ferrari and Alpine, who had all previously revealed their cars ahead of the Barcelona Shakedown.
The Williams team, unfortunately, missed the shakedown altogether after ‘delays’ in their car’s programme, and they will be forced to play catch-up to the remaining 10 teams in next week’s Bahrain pre-season tests.
Two of those 10 teams that completed runs in shakedown included new arrivals, Cadillac and Audi.
The team had previously announced a pre-season livery, which was fan-decided, that will be used in the upcoming tests before the season officially gets underway in a little over a month’s time.

However, the team has officially launched their livery with the team still retaining its iconic blue colour scheme.
The car features its familiar blue predominant colour palette, but it is accompanied by lighter blue on the sidepods, which is split with silver. The Duracell ‘battery’ remains on the roll hoop of the car.
It was previously rumoured that the Williams team had failed their mandatory crash tests, which had delayed their progress. However, it has been reported that those tests have now been completed.
Next up will be Cadillac, who will be the ninth team to reveal their car on February 8, 2026, ahead of the final two teams; Aston Martin and McLaren.
The pre-season test in Bahrain is set to get underway next week on February 11.
