Williams F1 is preparing for its 50th anniversary season in 2027.

To mark this special occasion, the team is hosting a ticketed "W50 Live" event in Waterloo from February 11 to February 28, 2027. The event will showcase championship-winning cars, iconic memorabilia, and a theatrical, multi-sensory journey celebrating Williams' past and future. The centerpiece of the celebration will be a show car of the team's 2027 challenger, the FW50, which will be piloted by Alexander Albon and Carlos Sainz.
Fans will also have the opportunity to vote on Williams' livery for the team's home race at Silverstone. The team plans to release limited-edition merchandise and collectibles honoring standout moments, personalities, and cars from their history. Team members and F1 President Stefano Domenicali have hailed this milestone, emphasizing the team's determination, resilience, and desire to succeed.
