The Williams team unveiled on Thursday its definitive colour scheme for the 2011 season

The Grove-based squad unveiled its 2011 challenger, the FW33, earlier this month and has been running with an interim livery during winter testing.

But its final colour scheme was only presented to the public in an event broadcast online on Thursday morning.

The most visible sponsorship on the car is from energy company Petroleos de Venezuela (PDVSA), with which the team announced a "substantial" deal earlier this year, and from temporary employment company Randstad.

Williams's livery resembles that used by the team back in the 1990s, when it was sponsored by Rothmans.

The car will be driven by Venezuelan Pastor Maldonado and Brazilian Rubens Barrichello.

I really don't like it. It's just too busy.

 

no title sponsor...again

 

I love the 90's look of it.

 

I thought F1 was supposed to be moving in the direction of more mechanical grip, and less aerodynamic induced grip. What is with all of the extra fins, wings, etc stuck to these cars?

 

I loved the testing livery they had. Not a big fan of this.

BigE, where do you see all the extra fins and wings?

 

On the side pods, the front wing, the rear wing....

When the new rules were originally announced, I was thinking/hoping design would be more like the classic F1 cars from the 70's and 80's with simple front and rear wings, and cleanly shaped bodies. Wasn't the intent to make it more of a "driver's" series and less of an "engineering" series?

 

I rather like it.

BigE, have a look at the cars from a birds eye view, most of them have releases those photos. It shows how simplified they are from previous rules.

 

They should have spent some sponsor money on lighting for that photoshoot.
