Thank you, I also don't think that there will be a mercedes-benz ad on the engine cover on the real livery.

That's even worse, the livery should follow the lines of the car, I could do better than that with my daughters crayons.

I was about to say it looks like a rendering of the Lotus. Forza makes sense now.

I understand people getting excited about what is potentially going to be an epic livery, but can we just wait till thursday when it actually gets unveiled?

This was posted on twitter by Taki inoue.......looks real to me! It appears to be on the FW35. I think it looks really good.

The Lotus E21 looks good with a Martini livery.

That would require some patience. The Interwebz does not have patience.

Can I ask where the whole "Williams will have Martini sponsorship" rumour started?

Was it purely from the "statements" about a supposedly epic retro livery returning this year?

Why would they go through testing without such a livery? Sponsorship is expensive/lucrative for all involved, so why would either side NOT slap it on during the test sessions?

Bearing in mind the corporate colours of the sponsors that are already on the car, would it not make more sense to be expecting an FW14-esque yellow and blue livery?

It was started as rumor, but it went viral when picture leaked showing new (and confirmed) shirts from Ferrari and McLaren together with unconfirmed Williams shirt that had Martini logo on it


As for not using that livery in testing...Williams has been known, at least from BMW days, for using dark blue livery in testing before painting their cars in race colors in time for 1st GP. Bear in mind that it was in time when they had the same livery for 5 years (2001-2005) with just some little detail changes, but now that they have different livery almost every season it is good PR thing because we all are talking about them, trying to guess how the car will look in Melbourne.

Apparently the deal wasn't a 100% closed in time for Jerez (or they wouldn't have the car ready), and since Bahrain doesn't allow alcohol advertisement they opted wait it out, raise expectations, instead of launching a Martini car that doesn't have Martini written on it...
