The Williams FW46 is a Formula One racing car designed and constructed by Williams to compete in the 2024 Formula One World Championship. The car is driven by Logan Sargeant and Alexander Albon in their second and third years with the team respectively.
Design and development
The FW46 was first revealed on 5 February 2024. It featured a livery largely similar to the one run on the FW44 and FW45 cars.[1]
Season summary
At the season opener at the Bahrain International Circuit, Albon and Sargeant qualified 13th and 18th respectively, finishing in 15th and 20th.[2] At the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix, the drivers started 12th and 19th and finished in 11th and 14th. As there was no spare chassis available, Sargeant withdrew from the Australian Grand Prix to allow teammate Albon to use his chassis; Albon had crashed heavily in practice and the team were unable to repair his car.[3] Albon ultimately finished in twelfth. Sargeant damaged the repaired chassis in the following Japanese Grand Prix during the first free practice session.[4]
