F1 News: Williams Reveal FW45 And Confirm Gulf Partnership Ahead Of 2023 Season
Williams has unveiled the FW45 and new sponsor ahead of the upcoming 2023 season during an event hosted by F1 journalist Will Buxton.
As well as the FW45, Williams also confirmed their partnership with Gulf. The oil company's contract with McLaren has come to an end and there has been a huge amount of speculation over them partnering with Williams. The addition of driver Logan Sargeant to the team, as well as the sponsorship of rising star Franco Colapinto, has only added to the speculation.
With Gulf becoming a sponsor, Williams Racing should receive a much-needed financial boost, propelling them higher up the grid and bringing even more excitement to the F1 circuit. The return of the iconic Gulf brand and the emergence of American driver Logan Sargeant bodes well for the future of F1.
The new car has a matte finish as well as a new blue and black design with red accents. British-Thai driver Alex Albon will be joined by rookie American driver Logan Sargeant for the 2023 season. The team will be looking to be more competitive against Alfa Romeo and Haas.
