Williams FW48

Automobiles

The Williams FW48 is a Formula One racing car designed and built by Atlassian Williams F1 Team to compete in the 2026 Formula One World Championship, driven by Alexander Albon and Carlos Sainz Jr., in their fifth and second seasons with the team. Williams prioritised its development before any other team, cutting development of the FW47 early to allow full focus from 1 January 2025, but production delays meant the team missed the private shakedown test in Barcelona in late January 2026. The car made its track debut at a shakedown at Silverstone on 4 February 2026 in a one-off livery voted by fans, and its official on-track debut at the first public pre-season test in Bahrain on 11 February. A B-Spec version debuted at the 2026 Azerbaijan Grand Prix and will be carried over into 2027.
