Williams FW25 returns to competitive track after 23 years in storage

The Williams FW25 Formula One car, last used in 2003, has been restored and is set to compete at the Nürburgring. The vehicle, driven by Ralf Schumacher and Juan Pablo Montoya during its original season, will participate in the 2026 BOSS GP series. This marks the first time the FW25 has turned a wheel since its retirement over two decades ago. Williams Heritage’s restoration involved key engineers from the original team, thereby bringing significant historical context to the project. Race owner Phil Stratford expressed excitement about racing the car under the full support of the Williams Heritage team.
