The new Formula 1 season is already upon us. After months of waiting, the cars will take to the track again this month. Williams have already showcased their livery. Drivers Alexander Albon and Logan Sargeant will again be behind the wheel of the blue car, just like last season.

Albon and Sargeant enthusiastic

Albon is already setting his goals for next season. "Coming off the back of a very positive year we’re hoping to build on our progress into 2024, working hard to make some good steps forward in performance. We’ve asked a lot of the team and the factory to get this car where it needs to be, and we’ve also slightly changed the philosophy of the car, so I’m interested to see if we can improve some of the characteristics it has historically had. It will require an adjustment in driving style but I’m confident it will be a change for the better," Albon said.

Sargeant also cannot wait for the new Formula 1 season. "After unveiling this great livery I’m now itching to get behind the wheel of the FW46 and keep developing as a driver. I’ve had a productive off season that has allowed me to prepare both physically and mentally for the year ahead. Taking the time to properly reflect on my rookie season, there’s been a lot of lessons learned and experience gained that can only benefit me as I enter this new season."

Last season, team boss James Vowles' formation played a supporting role in the championship though they were happy with the end result. Williams ended up scoring 28 points, only one of which came from Sargeant. Albon received a lot of praise from Formula 1 fans for his performance during the season. Can Williams perform better than in 2023?
