Williams has become the second team in as many days to release images of their 2018 Formula 1 challenger, doing so at an event in London on Thursday.

The car - named the FW41 - is a bold step forward on the conservative design and is the first to have been created under the leadership of technical director Paddy Lowe and head of aerodynamics Dirk de Beer.

It is hoped the more aggressive approach can thrust the Grove-based team firmly back into the battle to be 'best of the rest' behind the top three after finishing over 100 points behind Force India in fifth in last year's constructors' standings.

The most notable changes are in the sidepod and bargeboard area with a much more complex layout compared to its predecessor and tighter packaging towards the back, no doubt helped by Lowe's knowledge of the Mercedes engine which will power the Williams.
