Williams has completed the launch of its new Formula 1 car, the FW40, by releasing additional images before the start of pre-season testing in Barcelona on Monday.
Williams was the first team to show off its 2017-spec car, releasing renders of the FW40 on February 17 before confirming that its full launch would take place eight days later.
The team has now revealed its new car in the flesh, with drivers Felipe Massa and Lance Stroll set to pilot it through the 2017 season as the team celebrates forty years of racing.
Williams fell to fifth in last year's constructors' championship, having finished third in 2014 and 2015, and will bid to revive its fortunes with the radically-different FW40.
As with the rest of the grid, Williams has overhauled its car to come in line with the new technical regulations. The FW40 features more aggressive bodywork to generate additional downforce and incorporate Pirelli's new wider tyres, as well as using the 'shark fin' engine cover that is set to be commonplace in F1 this year.
The Williams FW40 will hit the track for the first time on Monday with the start of pre-season testing in Barcelona.
