Williams has become the latest team to confirm the launch date of its 2018 car, the FW41, which will be revealed during an event in London.
The covers will be pulled off the car on February 15, making it the earliest confirmed launch so far, with Mercedes and Ferrari launching on February 22, followed by McLaren and Toro Rosso.
The FW41 will be the first Williams car developed by chief technical officer Paddy Lowe, following his arrival from Mercedes last March.
The Grove-based outfit will feature the grid's youngest driver pairing in 19-year-old Lance Stroll and 22-year-old Sergey Sirotkin, who makes his debut this season, replacing the retired Felipe Massa.
Williams finished in fifth position in last year's Constructors' Championship, with Stroll scoring a podium finish in Azerbaijan.
The FW41 is set to make its on-track debut on February 26 when pre-season testing begins at the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya.
Stroll and Sirotkin will both be in action, with newly-signed reserve driver Robert Kubica also set to partake in pre-season running.
Confirmed Launch Dates:
Williams – February 15
Ferrari – February 22
Mercedes – February 22
McLaren – February 23
