Williams F1 Team 2014

It looks absolutely sweet!

Good on williams for going for a subtle look, not a coat the car in paint look. The transition from shark fin to rear wing is very clever.

For the Abu Bhabi and Bahrain GPs will they have to run with cigarette style hidden advertising?

No, McLaren for Example has Johnnie Walker and runs it there .

No they don't, Johnnie walker is hidden at both those tracks.

Martinis stripes are also considered part of the brand, so they also will in theory have to disappear at GPs where alcohol isn't advertised.

I hope there's some complimentary sponsor livery going on the sidepods, that design looks terrible atm.

Completely disagree. I absolutely love the minimal livery. So happy they haven't gone the Lotus route, oversized logos splashed across every available surface.

Force India don't hide Whyte and Mackay though....But then they weren't shown on tv at all 2years(?) ago - if you truly believe that was the reason.

this is what they did with Whyte and MacKay:

Martini have 3 different liveries lined up for the season. presumably for races where they cannot use this launch spec version.

I think it looks good, certainly one of my favourites on the grid.

Nice and fresh looking. The navy blue was cool for a while but this is nicer. I like the look of white cars after a race when they are dirty. So cool.

Too much white for me...

yup this would have been much better


but then again it would have been too similar to their current livery

looks absolutely great, even though i feel like there could have been some bigger 'red-blue' striping present. a bit fatter wouldn't have looked bad imho.

yes, sidepods do look very empty. perhaps they're still fishing for more.

still - it's beautifull. very great representation of classic brabham livery, yet without being too much brabham-esque.
modern representation. reminds me of BrawnGP BGP001, which is a good thing!

i like it. hope they'll put some wins under the belt. would love massa to beat alonso and raikkonen's ferrari f14t for the win.
I'm not a massa-fan, not at all to be honest, but he deserved a whole lot better then the way he was treated at ferrari [same for barrichello].

glad to see them having some fun! a good teamspirit is very beneficial, and this retro vibe surely will give them a little
boost. looks like the air is much more breathable now that Pastor's gone. Still feel sad Bruno Senna isn't there anymore.
but anyway, great development for Williams. now let's hope they can actually bring some competition to the table.
another year at the back would crush them.

That looks good.

Since Williams color is blue and Martini goes with everything it would've been a good combo.

If you wanted to differentiate from what they've been running lately you could make the nose completely white.

Massa is a changed man ...he is now at Williams..saw that new Senna logo ? Maybe Felipe has a Special Agenda.

(or was that FIndia photo just a factory shot, not actually in Bahrain?)

nah, i suspect williams to run this new Senna logo just for this year because of the 20 year anniversary, doing something
special at Brazil this year, and for 2015 return for the classic Senna-S again. Massa winning in the williams at brazil might see him dedicating the race to Senna. that would be a huge, huge, huge and respectfull deed and would have brazilians crying all over. i can actually see it happening.
