Williams has taken the covers off its 2025 Formula 1 car, revealing the FW47 in a one-off dark blue livery.
Williams's actual 2025 livery will be on display at F1's first-ever collective launch at the O2 in London next week but like McLaren, it has opted to show its 2025 car early in a special livery.
The team showed the first glimpses of the FW47 during a live-streamed launch event at Silverstone as it prepared to shake down the car at the British Grand Prix venue.
That shakedown was also shown, with new signing Carlos Sainz the first to drive the car on a shortened version of the circuit.
Williams is continuing to rebuild under new team boss James Vowles and has avoided the kind of turbulent winter that left it without a car to show during last year's launch season.
Vowles has been working hard to reinvent the car build processes at Williams, including pivoting away from some of its car build being handled by Microsoft Excel.
Vowles has repeatedly made it clear that Williams is targeting results in the medium-to-long term, particularly with F1's new rules era in 2026 on the horizon.
"You're going to see us progress forwards but what I've always said is we've put our focus into 2026, '27 and '28," said Vowles, outlining Williams's path back to being a title-contending F1 team during its launch. "We're developing elements that come online as a result of that.
"We have this year huge infrastructure changes that have come online. We were 700 people, now over 1050 today and we're not finished yet. There's a lot more in the pipeline. That's all happening in the background.
"What I want to make sure that we're doing is not just the short term, little bit of gain at the cost of the long term. We're here to make sure we're back to winning championships, to do that it will take a little bit more time but that's the investment we're doing."
It still wants to make gains for 2025 however - "watch our pathway, this should be a good one this year" Vowles added - particularly with star signing Sainz arriving from Ferrari.
Sainz first drove for Williams in the post-season Abu Dhabi test last December and has been properly working with the team since January.
Alex Albon returns for his fourth season at Williams and surely has the biggest test of his career ahead of him since he was crushed by Max Verstappen at Red Bull in 2020.
Earlier this week, Williams announced a title sponsorship deal with software company Atlassian, the team's first such agreement since its ill-fated Rokit deal was dissolved in 2020.
