Williams Racing has revealed its title sponsor and new livery ahead of the 2019 Formula 1 season.

The team has announced that it has signed a multi-year agreement with British-based telecommunications company ROKiT to be the team’s title partner, replacing Martini.

While the team made the new sponsorship announcement, it is yet to reveal its new car for the 2019 season, with their latest creation the FW42 not expected to make its public debut into the Barcelona test. Instead, they used one of their 2018 to showcase its new look on at their Grove base.

“We are delighted to welcome ROKiT to our team as our title partner for the 2019 season and beyond.” said Claire Williams, Deputy Team Principal, ROKiT Williams Racing.

“We share many similar values and aspirations with ROKiT; primarily putting engineering and innovation at the core of everything we do in our pursuit to be the best – the perfect platform from which to start a partnership.”

“ROKiT is on an exciting journey in their world of telecommunications, as we are at Williams as we build the team for a successful future. Taking that path together will make us both stronger in our endeavours and so I can’t wait to get started.”

The launch was attended by both of the team drivers last year’s Formula 2 champ George Russell and F1 returnee Robert Kubica.

F1 preseason testing commences February 18 at Barcelona’s Circuit de Catalunya.
