Special liveries everywhere, here’s the Williams 800th GP celebrations one for Silverstone (and only Silverstone even though Hungary is now the 800th) (i.imgur.com)

Honestly I like this better than the chrome McLaren livery

i’m sure some people like the chrome but i never liked it as a design, however i think it’s still cool to bring it back for special occasions. and with a lot of liveries seeing them in track is way different than the photos so we’ll have to see this weekend!

I think I'd like the chrome better if it was cleaner and more minimalist but with all the sponsors all over it just looks cheap imo

[–] humantorchbankloan 2 points 2 years ago

yeah for sure.. the mclaren way these days.

That kind of highlights the sad reason why the Williams has been such a gorgeous car for the past few seasons: they don't have all the sponsors that McLaren and others have. It's sad to see Williams as a perineal backmarker given their history.

absolutely gorgeous. what a classy special livery.

[–] Kriptyc 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

The Williams blue looks so good.

[–] bhmnscmm 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

It does! I think it pairs with white better than Alpha Tauri.

[–] EyesEyesBaby 3 points 2 years ago

I love it

Williams killing it on their Livery again. The last few years have been great, outside of that god awful white/blue/orange they had a couple years ago.

This is perfect though. Keeps their main livery intact while adding a loud, but fitting detail. Not like mclaren and that awful livery they’ve had the last 2 years. The last good special livery there was the gulf one. Everything since has just been an eyesore.

Ooh yes that's nice! They should run with it all year, I find the all-blue a little plain.
