Overview
- Williams announced Thursday that its 2027 challenger will be named the FW50 to mark the team's 50th season on the Formula 1 grid.
- The centerpiece of the year‑long programme is 'W50 Live', a ticketed exhibition at Leake Street, Waterloo running from 11–28 February 2027 that will show a FW50 show car alongside six historic Williams cars.
- Ticket presales start for W Club members on October 26 with general sale on October 29, and Williams says further anniversary events and rollouts will follow during 2027.
- The team confirmed its 2027 driver pairing of Alex Albon and Carlos Sainz and will give fans a one‑off vote to choose Williams' special livery for the 2027 British Grand Prix at Silverstone.
- The programme includes limited‑edition collectibles, including a W50 Monopoly set and a commemorative coffee‑table book, and uses the Leake Street venue and iconic cars to retell Williams' five‑decade legacy as a platform for future growth.
