F1 team eventually reveal car just a day before pre-season testing

Williams has officially presented the complete design of their 2024 car following its inaugural run in Bahrain.

While initially revealing only the livery, the Grove-based team now unveils the full FW46 after a flurry of launches by the other nine F1 teams.

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.
