Williams' FW33, featuring a KERS system designed by the famous team, is painted in interim navy-blue colours ahead of a livery launch at a later date.
It was debuted by Rubens Barrichello shortly after the pitlane opened at 10am. Pastor Maldonado, whose sponsor PDVSA is one of only a few decals on the pre-launch car, will follow on Wednesday.

"Until you start testing," says technical director Sam Michael, "you’re never sure how you’re going to stack up against the opposition, but we’re optimistic. We think this is a good car, but we’ll have a better overall picture in a few weeks time."
"Our ambition is get back to the front of the grid," says Frank Williams. "We know that won’t be easy, but we hope this car will take us closer to the leaders than we were in 2010. As a team, we’re as ambitious now as we’ve ever been."
