On Monday, Williams announced their new car alongside a new partnership with ROKiT, a new logo and livery. While they managed to be ready for that, it looks as if they could be pushed for time for the rest of pre-season.
The new FW42 was scheduled for a film day on Saturday. This would consist of a 50km shakedown and a photo shoot for promotional purposes.
However, latest reports suggest this may not be possible. According to TheJudge13, Williams has similar problems to Renault about finishing the car on time. Apparently, not all parts have been delivered. George Russell and Robert Kubica may have to do some extra waiting around.
