Williams Racing, a team on the rise

Front wing

The front wing is the first element of the car to cut the air. Traditionally, it has also been the first component to create downforce. This component has regained some importance with the latest regulation change and now it includes some active flaps that enable more speed and less drag in the straights.

Halo

Developed and built by the FIA, its role is deflecting any external objects that might pose a danger to the most vulnerable part of the racing driver: the head. Introduced for the first time in 2018, it grants an unprecedented level of safety. Its weight has been reduced by one kilogram for 2026, down to seven.

Power-unit

Formula 1 cars are so complex that the word ‘engine’ is not enough, hence why the term power-unit is more accurate. In 2026, the electrical power generated by the so-called MGU-K is upped to roughly 500 horsepower thanks to a bigger battery. The system is completed by a 1.6-liter V6 turbo engine that creates another 500 horsepower and lots of electronics.

Tyres

Formula 1 has used 18-inch wheels since the 2022 season. Tyres come in different compounds, with five dry options available, an Intermediate option and a full-wet one. In 2026, they’re slightly smaller both in width and diameter. They are manufactured by Pirelli, they’re characterized by their low profile and the dry options have a slick surface to transfer all the power of the car to the ground.

WILLIAMS, TRADITION AND INNOVATION

Atlassian Williams Racing is the second most successful team in Formula 1. Founded by Sir Frank Williams in 1967, it joined Formula 1 two years later and ever since it has clinched six Drivers’ Championships with stars like Keke Rosberg, Nigel Mansell or Alain Prost, and nine Constructors’ titles. The innovation in its engineering and its competitive spirit have made it a legend in the paddock.

IN AN ERA OF EXPANSION

Atlassian Williams Racing builds its very own Formula 1 chassis in its factory, which is placed in Grove, in the United Kingdom. The arrival of Dorilton Capital as the new owner of the team and the boost of new sponsoring partners have created a new era of transformation and expansion for its structure. New equipment like a state-of-the-art simulator and a wide round of hiring of engineers and other professionals have brought an atmosphere of progress to the prestigious English team. Mercedes HPP provides the power units, which have an impeccable track record.
