WILLIAMS RACING FW45 OFFICIAL SHOW CAR WITH 800TH GP ANNIVERSARY UNION FLAG LIVERY
F1 Authentics is proud to present this limited-edition Show Car - a Williams FW45 featuring the celebratory Union Flag livery which was seen on the real race car at the 2023 British Grand Prix, to commemorate the team's 800th GP race.
Unique 800th Grand Prix Livery & Limited-edition Chassis
In 2023, Williams were due to celebrate their 800th Grand Prix - having had their first ever race start as a team at the 1977 Spanish Grand Prix.
Flash forward to this year and this milestone was expected to be celebrated at none other than the team's home race at Silverstone.
However due to the flooding in Imola and the cancellation of the race, it technically meant that the British Grand Prix was their 799th.
Nevertheless, the team ran the celebratory livery anyway, with the FW45s driven by Alex Albon and Logan Sargeant donning the Union Flag on the engine cover bodywork.
This Show Car is one of only three being manufactured worldwide. Built by F1 Authentics, under official licence of Williams, each car will be created using the same materials, bodywork, and moulds as the race cars, which are supplied by the team.
A Team Steeped In History
Williams is an F1 team steeped in history, with its name being etched into each decade of the sport.
The team has evolved through the years from its humble beginnings with Frank Williams, to the powerhouse it became during its Championship years, to a team in which young drivers yearn to race for in present day.
From the iconic team's glory days winning a total of nine World Champions between the years 1980 and 1997, to the trailblazing engineering and aerodynamic advancements, the British name radiates excellence and remains one of the most popular teams in the sport today.
Williams F1's legacy resonates as a testament to the fusion of racing passion, technical brilliance, and unwavering spirit that defines this remarkable team.
