@Steven: I linked to this article from today’s 500 Races Young story because the first part is relevant. I do that from time to time, sorry for any confusion.

These are oustanding achievements by Williams. The team and its history are a great credit to its founder and its technical leader.

Are you sure this is current Ollie? Williams ran 6 liveries last winter and the Icelandic sponsor story was around then. This looks identical to the material that was around then and since the original story Williams have run another couple brands belonging to Baugur on their cars.

The line “The first of these special liveries will be rolled in Jerez today, with the other five making appearances as the two month testing schedule progresses.” suggests this is last winter’s announcement.

the all blue livery Williams used last winter and seem to be using this time too is nice, better that the white blue mix they race in my opinion. I wish they keep it for the season but I don’t think they will. They probably need some white to house the sponsor logos better

Wow, I knew Williams had been around for a long time but it’s not until you see the figures written down like that that you can appreciate just what a phenomenal achievement it is.

Congratulations Sir Frank (and Patrick!) on an amazing career, and hopefully more success isn’t too far away.
