The team also announced a new partnership with Duracell as their new sponsor ahead of the 2022 season.

“I am so proud of this partnership between Williams and Duracell, and I am grateful for the trust and confidence they have put in us. Having their name on the side of our car is a personal highlight for me, as my nickname for 30 years has been Duracell–because I never run out of energy. I am very much looking forward to our work together,” said the Williams team boss Jost Capito.
