Friday morning Williams will announce the new livery for the 2020 Formula 1 season. After the departure of RoKit a lot had to be done to the livery, which was completely related to the sponsor.

In a tweet by Williams, Nicholas Latifi, George Russell and Jack Aitken look at the new livery. All three of them are of course very happy with the new livery and hope to be able to race in it soon. The video ends with the day and time when the livery will be announced. Friday morning at 10 am Dutch time.

New colours

The livery has to be changed because right after the cancelled Australian Grand Prix, the news came out that RoKit would leave as a sponsor of Williams. For a long time it remained unclear who had decided to stop the collaboration, but with new rumors about a switch from RoKit to Mercedes, suggests that the sponsor wanted to say goodbye to Williams sooner.

Since Williams' original livery was completely shrouded in RoKit colours, something else now needs to be thought of for the 2020 Formula 1 season. What those colours will be, is still unclear for now. White and blue have been Williams' dominant colours over the years, although yellow, red and green were also visible on Frank Williams' car in the early stages.
