Williams Anniversary Livery

Williams revealed the fifth in a series of six anniversarial racing liveries yesterday at the Circuit de Catalunya in Barcelona. The two Williams FW30s took to the track carrying the handwritten best wishes of the team's seven World Champion drivers. Alan Jones, Keke Rosberg, Nelson Piquet, Nigel Mansell, Alain Prost, Damon Hill and Jacques Villeneuve all sent the team personal congratulations as it embarks on its fourth decade of Formula One and at the Italian Grand Prix later this year, will record its 500th Grand Prix start.

In addition to the good wishes from the seven World Champions, the thirty one drivers who have raced for the team in nearly as many years graced the monocoque top, including names such as Ayrton Senna, Mario Andretti, Carlos Reutemann and Clay Regazzoni to current racers including Jenson Button, Juan Pablo Montoya and David Coulthard, as well as (of course!) Riccardo Patrese.

It's rather odd to think that, of all the teams Riccardo drove for in F1, Williams are the only team still racing today!
