Williams FW44 Speculation Thread

A place to discuss the characteristics of the cars in Formula One, both current as well as historical. Laptimes, driver worshipping and team chatter do not belong here.

It does totally look like the show car, but if it is… what are they showing? Their two sponsors? It looks a tad barren.

I hope it leaked while they’re applying all the decals or something and this isn’t final

Aren't they supposed to run the car on track for a shakedown later on? That there is 100% just the 'RB18'

How on earth are we getting so many leaks this year
If you no longer go for the space someone always has to leave, you're no longer a racing driver

It seems there were some changes to the script after the reaction to the RedBull's "RB18 launch".
They called the event "2022 season launch", and they said it is a livery reveal.
Though they still had FW44 logo in the video. :roll:

Looks as if Newey is still working for Williams too.. I recon the bike-incident was just a coverup for his time at the Williams factory last year.

Why’d they bother with this BS they don’t even have any sponsors to show or announce lmao. The Alfa got way more attention by just doing a shakedown. Just. Do. That. If you don’t wanna show your car.
