Williams has announced they will reveal their special livery on February 14, 2025, at Silverstone, ahead of Formula 1's 75th-anniversary celebrations.
Instead of revealing their official car, the FW47, they're choosing to focus on a unique one-off design. They aim to hold the presentation at Silverstone to honor its status as the site of the first F1 Grand Prix in 1950. It’s not the only livery reveal planned for F1, though, as all ten teams, including Williams, will unveil their official cars a few days later at the O2 Arena in London.

Team boss James Vowles commented on the upcoming season and event:
“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.”
Alex Albon, who will be driving alongside former Ferrari driver Carlos Sainz in 2025, shared:
“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.”
Williams's newest driver Sainz, who joins the team after a four-year stint with Ferrari, also commented:
“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!”
Post-reveal, the teams will head to Bahrain from February 26 to 28 for pre-season testing.
