Williams took the covers off the FW47 at Silverstone on 14 February 2025, in front of partners, media and invited fans, with the car in a one-off interim livery. All ten teams had agreed to hold their real 2025 colours back until F1 75 Live at The O2 four days later, so the launch had to land without giving the season away.
A launch like this is a staging and lighting problem as much as a motorsport one. The car is the only object in the room worth looking at, and it has to hold up to a stage, a livestream and several hundred phone cameras at once.
