Williams will enter Boss GP with its 2003 FW25, debuting at the Nürburgring on June 12, as the heritage arm showcases the marque’s legacy ahead of its 50th anniversary.
Phil Stratford, the FW25’s owner, will contest four rounds, with events at Magny-Cours, the Red Bull Ring, and Mugello following the Nürburgring opener. The car runs BMW’s 3.0‑litre V10.
FW25 returns to competition powered by a BMW 3.0‑litre V10 revving to 19,000rpm.
Williams Heritage has rebuilt the chassis using personnel who raced it in period. Director Jonathan Kennard says the programme brings the team’s story to new audiences.
The FW25 contested the 2003 Formula 1 season with Ralf Schumacher and Juan Pablo Montoya, delivering Williams’ most recent one‑two finish and underlining the car’s competitiveness that year.
Boss GP provides a competitive platform for ex‑F1 machinery, with regulations accommodating different eras. Williams’ focus is reliability, safety, and drivability without diluting the car’s original character.
Williams Heritage personnel who ran the FW25 in period are leading the rebuild and track support.
Heritage activity also supports the modern programme, reinforcing brand interest and technical continuity. That drive to streamline operations echoes the team’s recent restructuring and key hires, alongside leadership changes.
Kennard also highlights the sensory appeal. Hearing the FW25’s 19,000rpm V10 at the Nürburgring should provide a visceral reference point for fans accustomed to modern hybrid power units.
For Stratford, the programme realises a long‑held ambition. He stresses the value of full Williams support, with engineers who know the car intimately returning it to competitive running condition.
The schedule’s variety will test the FW25 across different demands. Nürburgring opens the campaign before Magny‑Cours’ stop‑go rhythm, the Red Bull Ring’s altitude, and Mugello’s high‑speed, loaded sweeps.
The campaign opens at the Nürburgring on June 12 before visits to Magny‑Cours, Red Bull Ring, and Mugello.
Williams’ Boss GP return connects eras, showcases engineering depth, and keeps the FW25 active in front of fans. It underlines a heritage strategy aligned with the organisation’s current competitive ambitions.
