Williams F1 car launch 2026: Date, start time and watch the big reveal LIVE
Williams, the only team absent from the initial pre-season testing, are finally unveiling their 2026 F1 car on February 3. The FW48 wasn’t ready for last week’s testing at the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya. Team principal James Vowles explained the car didn’t pass necessary tests, delaying its debut until Bahrain’s pre-season testing. The virtual car launch event will feature Vowles, Alex Albon, and Carlos Sainz discussing the new regulations and their expectations for the season. The 2026 F1 season begins in March at the Australian Grand Prix in Melbourne, with Williams set to reveal their car on February 3 at 2:00pm GMT. Interested fans can watch the launch on WilliamsF1.com, their app, or social media channels.
