If anyone out there does liveries one cool idea would be a Williams-Porsche livery inspired by this design. It works well as it incorporates and porsche in their liveries. Maybe include the number 55 and do it on the revised 2026 chassis.

Media Mention of Sainz's first impressions during Williams post-season test in FUno Analisi Tecnica article: "Exceeded the rosiest expectations."

96 Upvotes

Came across a 18 Dec 2024 article from FUno Analisi Tecnica with a promising mention of Sainz's post-season testing impressions. The article is primarily about Ferrari in 2025, but here is the part relevant to us Williams fans (translated from the original Italian through browser):

"...The scenario forĀ SainzĀ is different . The Spaniard will drive a decidedly weaker car [than Leclerc].Ā CharlesĀ is convinced that theĀ GroveĀ team will make an important step forward with his former teammate. And we can say that we also have the same thought. The technical baggage that he brings fromĀ FerrariĀ will be very useful toĀ WilliamsĀ . Nothing different can be said about the matter.

"SainzĀ has hit the ground running in his new adventure. Some of our collaborators, present at theĀ AbuĀ DhabiĀ tests on the sidelines of the last race of theĀ 2024Ā world championship , have gathered some information regarding the first impressions of the historic English team on the Spaniard. They have exceeded the rosiest expectations, it seems.Ā In half a day, Carlos provided an endless series of advice and corrections to make to the car . Notions that will be useful for defining the car that will present itself at the starting line of theĀ 2025Ā racing campaignĀ , this despite the fact that theĀ FW47Ā is in an advanced stage of design.

"CarlosĀ is a very precise driver and in general he has always preferred a single-seater with a very stable rear. We saw this well inĀ FerrariĀ , in his four years of service, where the Iberian chose aĀ set-up that could stabilize the rear, to then find himself more comfortable in managing the front end. A bit the opposite of whatĀ CharlesĀ did, without a doubt more inclined to a little less load on the rear end in order to gain something inĀ topĀ speedĀ .Ā SainzĀ is also very capable of understanding how to make the single-seater perform at its best."

Discussion New Williams fan here/Current Ferrari Fan/Carlos fan

78 Upvotes

Hey, what's up, y'all? I've been a fan of Carlos Sainz ever since I started watching F1, so it was natural that I find myself here, wanting to know more about Williams itself. I am mostly a Ferrari fan but I want to keep in touch with Williams and I hope the best for Carlos and Williams as a whole.

My main question is: is there a place I can gain knowledge about how Williams operates as an F1 team? Who are the people at the factory? Who are the people in the pits? What are Williams's strengths and weaknesses? What do they usually do throughout the season, from their shakedown to their strategies at GPs? What traits do their cars have? What are the characteristics of the team and the car?

I will note that I've listened to James' videos on his updates from the team and honestly he's got this calm to him that is very unique and I'm intrigued as to what he's going to do with it next year.

I know a lot already about Ferrari, having visited Maranello myself, but I'd love to know more about Williams in time for the upcoming season. I think it's going to be an exciting season for all.

Hi Williams fans!

I am researching the impact of ā€˜Drive to Surviveā€™ on the ways different sets of fans engage with F1 as a part of my university dissertation. If anyone can spare under 10 minutes to fill in my questionnaire it would be greatly appreciated.

Such a shame to see him not being able to finish his last F1 race (hopefully not for good). Still, he's done some good things with us this year!

Driver Sainz: ā€œIā€™m not going to Williams just to extract the most from the car. Iā€™m going to try and bring Williams back to the possibility of fighting for podiums [ā€¦] Iā€™m just looking forward to it, a lot more than what people might be thinking.ā€ [An excellent ā€˜Beyond the Gridā€™ interview by Tom Clarkson]

This is what you could win (plus a Mark Webber book)

Every year, in the off-season between the last race and new season testing, I run a competition with one Williams question a week. At the end of the period, the person who has got the most questions right wins. It's free to enter and each year, I put up a prize from my collection. This year you could win:

  • A Jim Bamber Williams mechanic figure (needs a bit of TLC!)
  • A Topps Williams Racing shiny logo card
  • Hamleys Williams small rucksack
  • Mark Webber's autobiography.

This will be the eighth running and I would love it if you could join in too! It starts Wednesday 11th December and you can find out more details here: https://wdb.click/wdbwc25.
