After 27 Years, Williams Team Removes Ayrton Senna Logo from New Car

The Williams team has made a significant change to their new car, the FW44, which will be used in the 2022 F1 season. Not only has the car's design and livery been updated, but the team has also removed the Ayrton Senna logo, which has been a part of their cars for 27 years.

This decision was made intentionally by the Williams team, and team principal Jost Capito explained that it was time for the team to move on. Ayrton Senna tragically passed away in 1994 after a crash during the San Marino Grand Prix, and the team has paid tribute to him by displaying his logo on their cars ever since.

The accident occurred at the Autodromo Enzo e Dino Ferrari circuit in Imola, where Senna's Williams FW16 car crashed into a wall. Despite being airlifted to the hospital, Senna was pronounced dead on May 1, 1994.

In honor of Senna's memory, the Williams team has displayed his logo on their cars from the 1995 season to the 2021 season. The team's decision to remove the logo marks a new era for the team, and fans can expect to see a new design and livery in the upcoming season.
