Williams unveils 2020 FW43 F1 challenger in revised livery
Williams has revealed images of its 2020 Formula 1 car, ahead of the start of pre-season testing at Barcelona this week
The Mercedes-powered FW43 will be driven by George Russell and rookie Nicholas Latifi this season, who replaces DTM and Alfa Romeo F1 reserve-bound Robert Kubica.
The car's livery has been significantly revised from the predominantly white and blue colour scheme from 2019 for the new season.
Williams is coming off the back of a disappointing 2019 campaign where it finished last in the constructors' championship thanks to a single point scored by Robert Kubica.
The outfit endured a particularly difficult start to the year when its new car was late for pre-season testing and it parted company with then technical chief Paddy Lowe soon after the start of the season.
It ended the season last in the constructors' table with a single point, courtesy of post-race penalties for the Alfa Romeo team during the hectic German Grand Prix promoting Kubica into 10th.
Its pre-season problems prompted the team to change its processes and conduct a reshuffling of staff, and it is all set to make the start of testing on Wednesday.

Why new look Haas is a litmus test for Formula 1’s new era
OPINION: With teams outside the top three having struggled in Formula 1 in recent seasons, the rules changes introduced in 2022 should have more of an impact this season. How well Haas does, as the poster child for the kind of team that F1 wanted to be able to challenge at the front, is crucial

The potential-laden F1 car that Ferrari neglected
The late Mauro Forghieri played a key role in Ferrari’s mid-1960s turnaround, says STUART CODLING, and his pretty, intricate 1512 was among the most evocative cars of the 1.5-litre era. But a victim of priorities as Formula 1 was deemed less lucrative than success in sportscars, its true potential was never seen in period
