Since the expansion of Formula 1 in a country with as much purchasing power as the United States, the teams, drivers and Liberty Media itself have put their interest in the North American fans, who have seen the Netflix documentary series, Drive to Survive , as a success on the small screen. Thanks to this, the Grand Circus calendar will host three tests in its territory, Miami, Austin and the novelty of Las Vegas with its race on Saturday for the first time since 1985.
For this reason, a team as legendary as Williams wanted to pay tribute to the American fans on the occasion of the dispute over the event in their nation. Through a video on their social networks, the Grove group revealed the decoration that they will exhibit in a showcar in the test at the Circuit of the Americas, better known as COTA.
This will be a unique opportunity for the English team to attract fans, since, in addition, in the first free practice session they will alienate the local Formula 2 driver, Logan Sargeant , in one of their cars, who has many options to get the seat of starter at the Grove if he finishes in the top five in the Grand Circus prelude to hold the superlicence .
The car that Williams presented is the car of the 2018 season, the FW41 , and although it is not the one they will compete with, they will have a modification anyway, since they will change their usual ‘W’ logo for the same letter formed by the names of several fans who participated in a draw recently.
In addition to this, those who want to get closer to the team’s position in the Texas city will be able to enjoy more activities, such as meeting the drivers, seeing the FW44, winning different prizes, trying out simulators and playing F1 Manager 22 and walking around the official store in case someone wants to financially support the team.
