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.

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.
