Williams has revealed its real challenger for F1 2024, the FW46, in a shakedown run in Bahrain following a season launch in New York City to present its new livery.

The Grove-based team elected to switch off development of the 2023 car early, so it could concentrate more on making the steps it needed for this season. We could already be assured of one detail, with the car featuring a push-rod rear suspension layout, rather than the pull-rod system employed for the first two years of this regulation phase.

In terms of the sidepods, Williams has followed the almost grid-wide trend, started by Red Bull, of utilising an underbite arrangement at the front of the assembly to increase the height of the undercut. This also provides the inlet more protection from the turbulence created by the front wheel assembly.
