Williams has unveiled its revis𒉰ed Formula 1 livery for the upcoming 2020 season, which begins in a week’s time with the Aus꧂trian Grand Prix. 

The Grove-based outfit’s updated livery retains a similar design to the original but the ROKiT red has 𒁃been replaced with a smart n🌱avy blue and light blue colour scheme. 

Canadian food manufacturer Sofina and Italian coffee brand Lavazza, both of which are linked to the team via Nicholas Latifi, also featur🧔es prominently on the FW43 and d💎river overalls. 

The liv💮ery change comes after a split with title sponsor ROKiT last month prompted the need for a rethink of its colour scheme for the new campaign. 

While there was no specific reason provided for 🌟the termination of the deal, it is understood that Williams’ engine supplier, Mercedes, is closing in on striking a sponsorship agree💟ment with the mobile phone manufacturer. 

ROKiT only joined Williams as it♔s new title sponsor on the eve of the 2019 s🗹eason and extended its deal until 2023 last summer. However, in May Williams announced the deal had ended with immediate effect. 

The Williams Group is currentl🌄y searching for additional investment to help secure its long-term future in the sport. As well as replacement sponsors, this also could include a partial, or full scale sale of the F1 team. 

Will⛄iams deputy team principal Claire Williams insisted 𓄧last month she was confident the team could attract new sponsors. 

“We very much feel that we look af🐓ter our partners in a fantastic way,” she said. “There’s been plenty of evidence of that over the years with many of Williams’s partners remaining with th🍌e team in the long term.

“We have also, just in the past three months, put in a whole new process around our commercial proposition. We’re𝐆 working with a new agency and we’re very much redeveloping the way in which we go and take Williams to market and we💮 have huge confidence in that.

“Williams has alway🍬s done a good job attracting new partners into our sport, into our team and I believe and have every confidence that we will continue to do so.”
