Williams has announced that its season launch will take place in the United States, specifically in New York City. This move follows the trend of other Formula 1 teams, such as Red Bull and AlphaTauri, organizing launch events in New York to engage American fans and companies. The team’s new car, the FW46, is unlikely to be unveiled during the event, but the 2024 livery will be showcased. Returning drivers Alex Albon and Logan Sargeant will be present at the launch. Sargeant, who became the first American in 30 years to score a point in F1, has been retained by Williams after showing improved performance in 2023. The team has shown momentum following its seventh-place finish in last year’s constructors’ championship, with recent investments from Dorilton Capital. Williams’ team principal, James Vowles, and chief technical officer, Pat Fry, emphasize the team’s commitment to moving forward and developing further.
