The Atlassian Williams F1 Team has unveiled its racing livery for its 2026 challenger, the FW48. Showcasing an all-new look for the upcoming regulations change, the car is a vibrant gloss blue colour that's contrasted with a black section and a subtle red and white keyline.
The latter is an iconic feature of Championship-winning Williams cars like Nigel Mansell's FW14B and Damon Hill's FW18, which celebrates its 30th anniversary in 2026.
You'll also notice that the FW48 has white sidepods and a large placement for the new team sponsor, Barclays. Recent weeks have seen brands like Anthropic, BNY, Wilkinson Sword, and Nuveen come on board with Williams as the team continues its quest to return to the front of the grid.
After missing the recent Barcelona Shakedown to focus on developing the FW48, Williams is seeking to continue the momentum from the 2025 season, which saw them finish fifth in the Constructors' Championship with 137 points. Williams also secured podium finishes in Baku and Qatar, and took home its first-ever Sprint podium in Austin.
James Vowles, Team Principal, Atlassian Williams F1 Team said today, "2026 is the next step on the path back towards the top for Atlassian Williams F1 Team as we enter a new era for the sport, and we are excited about the season ahead."
"We have a great driver line up, some fantastic new partners, an ever-growing fanbase and want to build on the success we tasted last year, but we are not naïve about the challenge ahead of us," he continued. "Nobody quite knows what will happen at the first race but we are looking forward to finding out, and hope our fans will love cheering us on with this great new livery."
Alex Albon added, "It’s always special to see a new livery for the first time, and the FW48 looks incredible. The design really stands out – it’s bold, modern and unmistakably Atlassian Williams F1 Team. I can’t wait for the fans to see it on track and cheer us on in 2026."
His teammate Carlos Sainz, meanwhile, shared, "The FW48 livery is a real statement of our intent for 2026. The design celebrates Atlassian Williams F1 Team’s heritage while embracing a fresh, dynamic look for the new era. I’m excited to race in this livery and to share the thrill with fans around the world - their support makes all the difference as we continue on our journey together!"
