Williams explains thinking behind new livery

GROVE, U.K -- Claire Williams hopes her team's light blue and white livery for the 2019 season marks a new chapter in its history after moving away from its traditional colours.

Despite five years with the predominantly white livery of former title sponsor Martini, Williams is still associated with the dark shade of blue it carried during its dominant years of the 1990s. The British team is coming off its worst ever season having finished bottom of the constructors' championship in 2018.

On Monday, the team and its new driver line-up -- the returning Robert Kubica and rookie George Russell -- took the covers off a car now adorned with the sponsorship of communications company ROKiT, along with the new colours.
