F1 team finally unveil car on eve of pre-season testing

Williams have finally unveiled their full car design for 2024, after giving the FW46 its first shakedown in Bahrain.

The Grove-based team previously only revealed their livery, during the frantic couple of weeks in which all other nine Formula 1 teams unveiled their 2024 challengers.

With pre-season testing coming up later this week in Bahrain, Williams wanted to give their fans the first taste of the full car before it hits TV screens for the next three days.

They head into the upcoming season hoping to build on what was a fantastic 2023, when they climbed up to seventh in the constructors' standings.

Team principal James Vowles admitted very early on last season that the team had given up on development of their 2023 car in order to focus on this upcoming season, putting the team in a great position to challenge nearer to the front of the grid.

Pre-season testing in Bahrain will give all 10 F1 teams their first opportunity to see how they are shaping up in 2024.

It's very unlikely to provide a full picture of the 2024 grid order - particularly as multiple teams will bring upgrades before the Bahrain Grand Prix - but F1 fans will be keeping a keen eye on their favourite team throughout the week.
