Barely inaugurated on track, Williams announces the presentation date of the FW43B
The Williams FW43B followed the new McLaren on the Silverstone track. First single-seater of a new era for the English team, without the Williams family at the helm. In the teaser, the team invites us to meet in early March.
A video posted on the official Twitter page of the team indeed proves that the Groove team has run their latest creation. Once a poor performer a few years ago (delays in the 2019 winter tests), the team is showing signs of renewal!

No visuals of the new Williams livery, but the video also informs us of the presentation date of the car, scheduled for Friday, March 5th. We only see Nicholas Latifi on the pit wall who seems to see his teammate George Russell at the wheel of the FW43B. Due to the partial freeze on chassis for the upcoming season, the team simply decided to add a B to the name of its future car.
The team reportedly managed to cover 100 kilometers with demonstration tires without encountering any problems.
