The Williams FW37 is a Formula One racing car designed by Williams Grand Prix Engineering which Williams Martini Racing is using to compete in the 2015 Formula One season. It is being driven by Valtteri Bottas and Felipe Massa.
The car was launched on 1 February 2015.[2]
History
Williams were first in presenting their 2015 car, releasing a computer rendering on 21 January 2015. The peculiar 'ant-eater' nose design of the 2014 car was dropped in favour of a lower and shorter one. The Williams team retained the Martini liquor brand as their main sponsor, thereby keeping the car in the traditional Martini Racing colours.[3]
