Williams team principal James Vowles will stay in Abu Dhabi after the 2025 F1 finale to compete in the Gulf 12 Hours, driving a McLaren 720S GT3 Evo with Garage 59. It marks his first return to racing since becoming team boss and follows previous outings in the 2022 Asian Le Mans Series.
FIA simulations show that 2026 F1 cars will be only one to two seconds slower than current machinery. Officials explain why the first year of new regulations is not designed for maximum speed.
Williams Racing will rebrand as Williams F1 Team from next season, introducing a new logo inspired by Frank Williams’ original design. With strong results under James Vowles and renewed backing, the iconic British team is finally starting to look competitive again.
