PPG Industries has once again been selected as the official paint and coatings supplier to WILLIAMS MARTINI RACING continuing the longstanding relationship it has with Frank Williams’ resurgent team.

Lifted by a set of impressive results that saw Williams Martini Racing achieve nine podium places and third place in the Constructors’ Championship in 2014, the team has made further improvements to the car and is positive that progress will continue in 2015.

Founder and Team Principal Sir Frank Williams commented, “PPG’s advice and input on the paint and coatings we use on our Formula One cars has never been more important. They’ve managed to reduce the weight of the paint we use on the cars and every gram saved gives us the possibility of faster lap times”.

To meet the demands of Williams Martini Racing, PPG’s paint technicians work very closely with those of the team throughout the design and testing, while also monitoring the coatings throughout the season. 

With the 2015 racing season opening at Melbourne, Australia on March 15th, Williams Martini Racing has recently unveiled the first images of the new Mercedes FW37 car, clearly showing the  benefits of PPG’s premium quality paint in the new distinctive white, blue and red livery.

Danni Aiken, Marketing Communications Manager PPG Refinish said, “We’re very proud to continue our association with Williams Martini Racing. The paint system we have devised for the team is testament to our continued investments in product development and to the feedback we gain from the many thousands of painters in bodyshops who use our products on a daily basis. We look forward to supporting Felipe Massa and Valtteri Bottas in their endeavours during the next twelve months”.
