The Williams Formula 1 team finally rolled out its 2026 challenger, the FW48, for its debut shakedown at Silverstone after skipping last week's Barcelona test due to production delays. Drivers Alex Albon and Carlos Sainz both took part in the promotional filming day, providing positive feedback amid minor issues to address. The team now prepares for further testing in Bahrain ahead of the new season.
Williams has opted out of the private 2026 Formula 1 shakedown test in Barcelona due to delays with its FW48 car, while Aston Martin plans to skip the first two days. The test, running from January 26 to 30, allows teams up to three days of running amid major regulation changes. Alex Albon acknowledged the setback but emphasized focus on upcoming official sessions.
