Williams FW45 breaks cover ahead of shakedown

Last week, Williams fans were offered a heads up on the team's 2023 livery as displayed on a show car, but the British outfit has now revealed its genuine FW45 ahead of the car's shakedown at Silverstone on Monday.

Both Alex Albon and F1 rookie Logan Sargeant will get a chance to sample their new mount at the Northamptonshire track before the team heads to Bahrain for the start of pre-season testing on February 23.

Williams is hoping to take a step forward this season on the back of a management restructuring that has taken place at Grove, with former Mercedes chief strategist James Vowles taking over the reins of the team from former team principal Jost Capito.

Hereunder is a side-by-side comparison between last year's Williams FW44 and this season new car.
