Looking to bounce back in 2020, Williams has shown off the firing up of its FW43 through its social media chan༒nels and remains on track for the start of testing at C🐻ircuit de Catalunya on February 19.
Willi🍌ams has recently bulked up its technical department following 2019’s overhaul triggered by the departure of Paddy Lowe as its technical chief, with David Worner and Jonath♔an Carter set to join in the near future in senior design roles from Red Bull and Renault respectively.
The Grove-based squad will now prepare for its digital launch of the FW43 on February 17 before heading to the S♎panish Grand Prix venue for the two three-day tests before the 2020 opening race in Austral♓ia on March 15.
Williams sees Nicholas Latifi replace Kubica alongside George Russell for 2020, while it has retained Jamie Chadw♓ick and added Dan Ticktum, Roy Nissany and Jack Aitken to its junior driver development roster.
