Looks like another show car. Lovely livery though, real Williams 2000 vibes.

I think it looks pretty great. the old navy and white Williams what also a good looking car.

What looks like a show car about it? the side pod inlets, the sidepod outer shape, engine intake, engine cover outlet shape all look very distinctly not like the f1 2022 "show car" that was shown at various publicity events and used for the RBR livery launch..

Is RBR the only team to for full lame duck and just show something with minimal tweak to the F1 show car?

The Alpha Tauri for 2022 is now the Alpha Williams for the uninitiated.

Mclaren is still my favourite so far.

I think ferrari might release a great livery based on their new clothing colours though.

Just looked too clean if you get me. Having had a longer look at it I don't think it's fully showcar.

The Alfa Romeo has been spotted testing at Fiorano.

Clean, smart livery. Nice colour combo.

I like this.

Edit: although I realise now that's 8 blue cars on the grid.

So what they've done is copied the DAMS livery from when Albon and Latifo were teammates in F2

Clean, smart livery. Nice colour combo.

I thought Alpine was supposed to launch next week?

 

[Jimlaad43]

Is anyone else getting Simtek vibes from the front of the car?

I'm enjoying this Williams. It feel like it needed a bit more light blue to lighten and define some areas, but apart from that it gets a big tick from me.

I like this.

Lol 8??

Try 4. But I agree blue is over done.

 

[Famine]

Well, no Rich Energy. That's a start.

Also isn't Dorilton Ventures a character from Fighting Baseball?

Edit: Oh, when an idea takes root in your head...

 

[MaxAttack]

I really hate that my first reaction to this nice looking car was "slap a bull on it and you have a Toro Rosso". I wish I could unsee it.

I hereby dub this car Towo Wosso.

 

[Veinz]

Looks good, too much blue on the grid now though.

 

[Rossell2]

Lol 8??

Try 4. But I agree blue is over done.

Ohh. I meant 8 in total counting teammates.

 

[GingerBredMan]

Missed opportunity to style the car like a Duracell battery. Still looks good though!

 

[pumaATTACK]

I really like the Williams livery but hate all the blue cars. We need more unique color schemes.

I normally wouldn't say this but I hope Alpine goes primarily pink to help change up the grid

 

[Jimlaad43]

So they do actually have a running car at Williams.

 

[Famine]

All of the real cars we've seen, and particularly those running under their own power, have practically no rake - I'm guessing to get enough air in the front to go through the venturis and get ground effect working.

Red Bull - which showed a livery on an FIA show car - has always (well, since the RB5 at least) run a huge rake, and Newey already said last year that it's going to have to abandon that for the 2022 cars. I wonder how much that's going to affect them after 15 years of designing its cars to work a certain way.

The Williams looks lovely absolutely lovely but there is a lot of room for a bold, new sponsor...

Are you suggesting a specific one that sounds like it has a lot of money by name alone?

There is a lot of zeal and vitality in what you are implying.

Alfa Romeo shaking down their car at Fiorano today.

When I heard about Williams' Duracell sponsership I had a little hope, although no expectation:

Ah, well.

That said, the McLaren SP Indycar livery isn't a million miles away.

 

[Dan Hill]

I really like the Alpha Tauri and I too I saw a similarity to the 2000 William's livery on the side, kind of sad they lost the white rims though.

Also really like the Williams, especially in the shakedown images and I really love the retro Piquet/Patrese number 6 font on the car, a massive improvement on the mess of a livery they had last year.

The mercedes got leaked.
