2011 Williams FW33

[Eckhart von Glan]

this one got overlooked. Does not look like the final livery to me:

Wait is that the official car? I thought they never annonced the new car.

 

[Adam Eggbeer]

Williams decided not to do an official launch of the FW33. The livery that they are using at the moment is only a temporary one for the Pre-Season tests. They will unveil their official livery along with mechanic/drivers clothing in the next few weeks.

I see, but I don't understand why Williams did not do an offcial launch?

 

[James Chant]

To save some money. They can't be doing too well if they have had to float themselves on the stock market!?

They may be waiting on a lucrative sponsorship deal before they confirm the livery.

 

[Adam Eggbeer]

They lost quite a few sponsors since last season which is part of the reason why Patrick Head is selling most of his shares (around 25% of the company) to be floated on the stock market. It's a shame really as they are a great team with racing in its roots. I really hope they get out of this financial trouble.

I knew that Williams had some economic problems but I never knew they were this bad. Wasn't this also the reason why they had to let go of Hulkenberg?

i think the Hulk didnt have the money so they needed to let him go

The new livery will be revealed on thursday:

Williams will launch its 2011 car livery in a live online presentation on 24 February, the British team announced on Friday.

The event will take place at Williams' own Conference Centre with a live audience at its Oxfordshire headquarters.

Wearing a plain navy blue interim livery, the new FW33 has already been in action at the initial pre-season tests so far in Spain.

I liked it when it was all blue

 

[ufunacaoenn]

What, I think that the Williams looks sexy. The combination with white makes it looks very good.

Yeah, i just think it looked better all navy blue

 

[Derek Day]

The car it's self looks very tightly packaged, but the livery they released lacks any flair in my opinion. It has no show, lets hope its all go.

 

[Martin Bulgin]

I love it, got overtones of the 94-97 Rothmans liveries, lets hope it shows some of the performance from those years.

 

[Ramon Alonso]

The livery is OK, what is awesome and insane is that transmission. WOW!! The angle of the axles is quite steep, I hope it holds. The Z-rod also looks cool. It looks like they have a fast car this year. Between Red Bull and Williams, I think they have the best rears for now, I just hope the Cosworth engine shows up.
