At the 2026 Australian Grand Prix, Carlos Sainz made his debut for Atlassian Williams F1 Team in the No.55 FW48, bringing valuable experience as a multiple Grand Prix winner and one of Formula 1’s most consistent race performers. Sainz, known for his smooth driving style, strong tire management, and technical feedback, quickly became a key figure in helping Williams adapt to the new generation of Formula 1 regulations.
What set the FW48 apart from other race cars was its Mercedes-supplied hybrid power unit paired with a completely redesigned 2026-spec chassis featuring active aerodynamics and improved energy recovery systems. This combination gave the car better efficiency on long straights and improved cornering stability compared to previous Williams designs. Finished in the team’s modern navy-and-electric blue Atlassian livery, the FW48 represented a major step forward in Williams’ push to return to the front of the midfield.
