Williams became the second team after Ferrari to confirm the day on which it will unveil its 2025 F1 car that will be piloted by Alexander Albon and Carlos Sainz.

The Grove-based outfit has revealed that it will show off its brand-new car for the 2025 F1 season on February 14 as the team enters the next stage of its transformation plan in F1’s 75th year.

The new car that will be referred to as FW47 will be revealed at a promotional event at the Silverstone circuit, home to the first-ever Formula 1 Championship Grand Prix in 1950.

The 2025 F1 car will appear in a bespoke one-off livery, with the 2025 race livery being revealed on February 18 at the F1 season launch at London’s The O2.

Confirming its transformation plans, Williams noted: "The team is investing in the people, technology and infrastructure needed to achieve its long-term mission of returning to the front of the grid and winning multiple World Championships."

Reflecting on the announcement, Williams team boss James Vowles noted: “There is a tremendous amount to look forward to for Williams in 2025 – we have fantastic race drivers in Alex and Carlos, top engineers joining from across the grid and new facilities becoming operational at our Grove HQ.

"As part of our comeback plan, we have been working on our 2025 car for some time and I can’t wait to see it at Silverstone on February 14. Everyone in the team is giving everything to get this team back where it belongs as we head towards the major rule changes for 2026. It’s going to be an exciting year.”

Commenting on the announcement, Alex Albon noted: “Everyone at the factory is working hard to get our car ready for the new season.

"Launching on February 14 should be a great way to start an important year for us as a team, fighting as hard as we can with both cars from the outset this year and looking forward to opportunities ahead in 2026. I can’t wait to see the results of the teamwork and dedication that makes this team so special.”

Speaking ahead of his first season, Carlos Sainz noted: “It’s an important time for the team and we are all going to push to bring Williams back to the front of the grid as soon as possible. I was very impressed with the team back in Abu Dhabi.

"After a long year, it was great to watch the motivation and effort that everyone put in at such an important test. Thanks to that, we’ve been able to put together a solid plan and we have already started working on it to make sure we are as prepared as possible ahead of the pre-season test and first race.

"We’re not far away from the Silverstone car launch and I can’t wait to see my new ride! 2025 will be an exciting year and we are fully committed to putting together a strong season. VAMOS!”
