Williams announced the new livery for the 2020 Formula 1 season on Friday morning. After sponsor RoKit left, Nicholas Latifi and George Russell had to put a new colour scheme on the car.

Williams has been fighting to stay afloat the last few years. In 2018 and 2019 Williams finished at the bottom of the championship and in 2020 that's again the expectation. Now that main sponsor RoKit has withdrawn and Williams has declared that a sale is not out of the question, there seems to be an end to the historic team.

Back to the points

However, the father of driver Nicholas Latifi is wealthy enough to take over the team and is already helping the team. Latifi's investments are reportedly already ensuring that the team will be able to race at least until 2021 and in the meantime look for new investors, although the sale to Michael Latifi is not excluded.

In 2020, Williams will throw the new livery to a slightly higher place in the final standings for teams and hopefully more than one point as was the case in 2019. Russell had an unpleasant debut season in 2019 with no point. The winter tests in Barcelona showed some progress, so hopefully the team will be able to connect with Haas and Alfa Romeo.
