Although the livery looks like a GP2 Team, i like it! These Valliante colors blend nicely! Hopefully they can at least fight with the last teams and not be let behind like last year! :?

Btw Williams's sponsors are the only ones making me search them! Last year i was searching what the hell Rokit is... :lol:

ABK & BEER is my next search!! :lol:

livery looks a lot like a modern version of the 1997 Arrows F1 livery.

The fact that the car is running two days ahead of the first test is so reassuring!

I’m not mad keen on the livery, but it is what it is. At least it should be distinctive on track

To be fair, I think ABK Beer, or rather the Aktienbraerei Kaufbeuren, was around a long time before ROKiT. The brewery was bought by ROK Drinks in 2018, who branded its products ABK.

Most of the sponsors this year are either part of the ROK group, or are associated with Latifi.

Well at the very least it should be possible to tell which driver we’re looking at on track at a glance, unlike several other teams

Finally, everyone knows that Red Bull is a joke and Max Verstappen is overrated.

Will be slow. Hopefully Williams will be and have been putting 90% effort into 2021.

I am hoping Williams will be able to mirror what Mclaren did last year, identify their weakness and incorporate an effective solution through the winter and come out a second ahead of where they were last year. Add to this the rumoured 3 tenths gain from the Mercedes engine upgrades and they will be well on their way to recovery.

This time last year there was lots of talk of the team folding and not making it through the entire season . They managed the expectations, ate humble pie and just got on with firstly surviving then hopefully planning their comeback.

Roll on next year and we could see the phoenix rise from the ashes of a dismal 2019 to may be even fight for podiums once more

Russell just did a lap half a second faster than his best from quali in the Spanish GP last year, and we’re only a couple of hours into the first day of testing. I’d say that’s a good start

I will not pay any attention to the times. But simply the fact that the car is running and put a very decent number of laps already is a huge progress over the last year!
