Williams to run special F1 livery at Silverstone to celebrate 800th GP
Williams have confirmed they will run a “bespoke livery” at next month’s F1 British Grand Prix to celebrate their 800th grand prix.
As part of the celebrations, they will also “sport a special emblem” for the Hungarian Grand Prix.
Additionally, Williams ambassador and 2009 F1 world champion Jenson Button will drive the iconic 1992 FW14B on Sunday at the British GP.
Fans will also have the opportunity to meet a number of the Williams team, including Alex Albon and Logan Sargeant, at the London Fan Zone in Piccadilly.
Speaking of the news, team boss James Vowles said: “Reaching the milestone of our 800th Grand Prix is a remarkable achievement for Williams Racing.
“We are incredibly proud of our history and the legacy built over the years. Over our 46-year history, the team has achieved incredible results.
“With nine constructors’ championships and seven drivers’ titles to our name we are the second most successful Formula 1 team of all time, only behind Ferrari.
“We invite all our fans to join us in this celebration as we pay tribute to our iconic past and look towards a bright future.”
Only Ferrari and McLaren have more starts in F1 than Williams.
Despite their barren run in terms of success, only Ferrari have more constructors’ titles than them.
