Williams will run a special livery in Mexico and Brazil promoting Franco Colapinto's sponsor Mercado Libre.
With this, yellow colour will feature on the Willliams engine cover once again!
Yellow first appeared on the FW08C in 1983 and was ever-present in memorable liveries with a variety of partners until the end of 1993 – a period which saw the team pick up 55 of its 114 race wins, three of its nine Constructors’ World Championships and three of its seven Drivers’ World Championships.
Yellow will also be incorporated into the drivers’ race suits for the two races.
Mercado Libre just dropped a TV commercial with Colapinto promoting the partnership:
Franco will be driving with a helmet featuring yellow too, as a homage to f1 legend and fellow Argentinian Carlos Reutermann:
Oh dang. This is starting to get like classic era Williams. I like it
