that’s go racing,” remarked Guenther Steiner, Team Principal

Williams FW45 Livery (6 February)

Williams Racing unveiled a slightly new look for its upcoming FW45. The British outfit has taken on Gulf Oil as a sponsor, which is why you will see splashed of orange on the car. Though we’d bet a classic Gulf baby blue and orange combo would have been widely praised by the fans.

Mercedes-AMG W14

Mercedes-AMG had a 2022 season to forget. The once dominant team managed just a single win last year. “Our hopes and expectations are always to be capable of fighting for a World Championship. However, our competitors were very strong last year, and we are playing catch-up,” said team principal & CEO of the Mercedes-AMG F1 Team, Toto Wolff. “Racing at the front requires resilience, teamwork, and determination. We face up to every challenge, we put the Team first, and we will leave no stone unturned in the chase for every millisecond. This year, we are going all in to get back in front.”
