The '''Williams FW43''' is a Formula One car constructed by Williams to compete in the 2020 Formula One World Championship. The car was driven by Nicholas Latifi and George Russell, who were in their first and second year with the team respectively.<ref name="entry">{{cite news|url=https://www.fia.com/news/f1-2020-provisional-entry-list|title=F1 – 2020 Provisional Entry List|date=30 November 2019|access-date=30 November 2019|publisher=Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile}}</ref> Jack Aitken, Roy Nissany, Jamie Chadwick and Dan Ticktum acted as reserve and development drivers for the team.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.formula1.com/en/latest/article.aitken-joins-williams-as-reserve-driver-after-leaving-renault.2rN9Odf4dbRtaWrq6YSh9t.html|title=Aitken joins Williams as reserve driver after leaving Renault|date=4 February 2020|website=formula1.com|access-date=4 February 2020}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.formula1.com/en/latest/article.williams-sign-israeli-racer-nissany-as-test-driver.gPw9gDjZTRuzmuNi0MujW.html|title=Williams sign Israeli racer Nissany as test driver|date=15 January 2020|website=formula1.com|access-date=15 January 2020}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news|last=Benson|first=Andrew|url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/formula-one/50819404|title=Williams: British driver Dan Ticktum joins as development driver|date=17 December 2019|access-date=20 December 2019}}</ref>

One of these reserve drivers, Jack Aitken, made his Grand Prix debut in the FW43 at the 2020 Sakhir Grand Prix, replacing George Russell who was called up by Mercedes for the same event after Mercedes' regular driver, Lewis Hamilton, tested positive for coronavirus and was forced to miss the event as a result.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.williamsf1.com/news/2020/12/j|title=Jack Aitken to Replace George Russell for Sakhir Grand Prix|website=www.williamsf1.com|access-date=6 December 2020|archive-date=23 January 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210123213740/https://www.williamsf1.com/news/2020/12/j|url-status=dead}}</ref> Russell returned to Williams for the season finale in Abu Dhabi after Hamilton was cleared to race for Mercedes in that event with Aitken returning to reserve driver.<ref>{{Cite news|title=Hamilton to return for Abu Dhabi GP|language=en-GB|work=BBC Sport|url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/formula1/55264873|access-date=11 December 2020}}</ref>

== Initial design == The car was designed by David Worner and Jonathan Carter, both of whom are in their first year in the team having previously worked with Red Bull and Renault respectively.<ref name="designer" /> Williams have described the FW43 as being an evolution of its predecessor, believing the FW42 was a good basis on which to design the FW43.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.williamsgpnews.com/news/fw43-will-be-an-evolution-of-williams-2019-car/|title=FW43 will be an evolution of Williams' 2019 car|date=10 July 2019|website=Williams Grand Prix News|access-date=8 February 2020|archive-date=17 February 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200217141852/http://www.williamsgpnews.com/news/fw43-will-be-an-evolution-of-williams-2019-car/|url-status=dead}}</ref>

Several major changes were made regarding the side pods. Firstly the car introduced a steep slope from the top of the side pod to the floor to encourage the air to reach the floor of the car. This has drawn parallels with the side pod designs seen on the Red Bull RB8 and Sauber C31 seen in {{F1|2012}}. Williams have also reduced the size of the air inlets on the front of the side pods and have flattened the outer surface of the side pod. The wing mirror and wing mirror supports have also seen aerodynamic refinement.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.motorsport.com/f1/news/williams-tech-insight-new-fw34/4687674/|title=Tech insight: Can Williams rise again with its new FW43?|last1=Somerfield|first1=Matthew|last2=Piola|first2=Giorgio|date=18 February 2020|website=motorsport.com|access-date=2 March 2020}}</ref>

After experiencing their worst season in the team's history, which included missing the first two days of pre-season testing in 2019, testing for the 2020 season went much more smoothly for Williams. George Russell commented that he believed that Williams still had the slowest car after the team finished last in the preceding season, but that it was an improvement on its predecessor, the FW42.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.autosport.com/f1/news/148493/russell-williams-still-has-the-slowest-car|title=Russell believes Williams Formula 1 team still has the slowest car|last1=Karpov|first1=Oleg|last2=Codling|first2=Stuart|date=29 February 2020|website=Autosport.com|access-date=2 March 2020}}</ref>

The FW43 appeared in pre-season testing with a red, white and blue livery branded with the logo of the team's title sponsor, telecommunications company ROKiT. However, in late May, prior to the start of the delayed 2020 season, the team announced that the title sponsorship arrangement with ROKiT had been terminated and that a new livery would be revealed before the first race.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.racefans.net/2020/05/29/williams-to-reveal-new-2020-car-livery-after-terminating-rokit-deal/|title=Williams to reveal new 2020 car livery after ending Rokit sponsorship deal|website=racefans.net|date=29 May 2020|access-date=29 May 2020}}</ref>

== Competition history ==

=== FW43 === Russell and Latifi qualified 17th and 20th respectively for the season-opening {{F1 GP|2020|Austrian}}. Russell retired from the race with a fuel pressure issue, having been running in 13th place, whilst Latifi finished last of the running cars in 11th.

The FW43B is the first car to compete in a full season without the Williams family managing the team. The car made its debut in the Bahrain Grand Prix. At the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix, both Latifi and Russell retired, after contact with Nikita Mazepin and Valtteri Bottas respectively.<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.autosport.com/f1/news/williams-imola-display-on-merit-proves-there-will-be-more-opportunities/6381995/|title=Williams: Imola display on merit proves there will be more "opportunities"|date=21 April 2021|access-date=19 September 2024|work=Autosport|last=Cleeren|first=Philip|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240919012625/https://www.autosport.com/f1/news/williams-imola-display-on-merit-proves-there-will-be-more-opportunities/6381995/|archive-date=19 September 2024|url-status=live}}</ref> thumb|right|Latifi at the {{F1 GP|2021|British}} The car represented a strong step forward in qualifying and race pace to its predecessor, with Russell regularly challenging for top 10 qualifying positions, and the team narrowly missing out on points scoring positions towards the middle of the season at France and Austria. The team finally scored their first points of the season at the Hungarian Grand Prix, with Latifi and Russell finishing 8th and 9th on the road, respectively, before being promoted one place up each following Sebastian Vettel's disqualification. The result brought in 10 points and allowed the team to leapfrog Haas and Alfa Romeo to 8th place in the Constructors' Championship.<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.formula1.com/en/latest/article/double-points-finish-just-what-williams-deserve-says-super-happy-latifi.6W42yvaueoS14iCXIg46sw|title=Double points finish just what Williams deserve says ‘super happy’ Latifi after his first top 10 finish|date=2 August 2021|work=Formula One|access-date=19 September 2024|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240518184659/https://www.formula1.com/en/latest/article/double-points-finish-just-what-williams-deserve-says-super-happy-latifi.6W42yvaueoS14iCXIg46sw|archive-date=18 May 2024|url-status=live}}</ref>

At the next race in Belgium, Russell qualified 2nd on the grid following a stunning final lap in a chaotic wet session. The following day, conditions meant that the race was delayed, ran for 3 laps under safety car conditions and then red flagged - Russell was classified in the same position, whilst Latifi benefitted from pre-race penalties to be classified 9th. Thus, Williams scored their first podium since the 2017 Azerbaijan Grand Prix, double points for the second consecutive race, and doubled their points tally to 20 points (half points awarded) to take a stranglehold over 8th in the Championship moving the team 17 points clear of the nearest rivals Alfa Romeo.<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.formula1.com/en/latest/article/a-podium-is-a-podium-capito-thrilled-with-williams-first-top-3-result-since.5bXDnVyaZF8LN839embyvE|title=‘A podium is a podium’ – Capito thrilled with Williams’ first top 3 result since 2017, despite bizarre circumstances|date=29 August 2021|access-date=19 September 2024|work=Formula One|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240523065734/https://www.formula1.com/en/latest/article/a-podium-is-a-podium-capito-thrilled-with-williams-first-top-3-result-since.5bXDnVyaZF8LN839embyvE|archive-date=23 May 2024}}</ref>

Three races later in Russia, Russell yet again took advantage of changeable weather conditions to take 3rd in qualifying. He would finish 10th in the race which would prove to be his last points finish for Williams and Williams' last point for the rest of the season.<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.autosport.com/f1/news/10-things-we-learned-from-f1s-2021-russian-grand-prix/6677125/|title=10 things we learned from F1's 2021 Russian Grand Prix|date=27 September 2021|access-date=19 September 2024|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20231205222426/https://www.autosport.com/f1/news/10-things-we-learned-from-f1s-2021-russian-grand-prix/6677125/|archive-date=5 December 2023|work=Autosport|last=Smith|first=Luke}}</ref>

==Livery== 2021 was the final year for the Ayrton Senna tribute logo being presented on the front wing, which was used on every Williams car since 1995.

At the 2021 Bahrain Grand Prix, the team paid tribute to the legendary Formula One commentator, Murray Walker, who died a week before the race; his quote "And I've got to stop, because I've got a lump in my throat" was carried on the halo device. At the 2021 Monaco Grand Prix, the team celebrated their 750th Grand Prix with the logo on the engine cover and 100 fans present on the halo device. At the 2021 Saudi Arabian Grand Prix, the team paid tribute to their founder, Sir Frank Williams, who died a week before the race. To honour him, Williams ran the logo of their predecessor, Frank Williams Racing Cars, behind the sidepods; this time, the message on the halo device read "I feel the need, the need for speed", a reference from the film ''Top Gun''.
