Williams on HP at Silverstone.

The WilliamsF1 team will unveil a new-look livery at the British Grand Prix next weekend, following the recent acquisition of title backer Compaq by rival Hewlett-Packard.

Although the deal has been done for some time, the team's home race will be the first to bear witness to the emergence of Hewlett-Packard as a major feature on the FW24's bodywork, following a string of tests to ensure that the new logos fit in well with the tried-and-tested blue-and-white livery inspired by engine supplier BMW.

Compaq will not disappear entirely from the cars driven by Juan Montoya and Ralf Schumacher, as the brand will still be marketed under the HP banner, but the new parent company will take over the prime spots on the bodywork. As a result, HP logos will now adorn the sidepods and rear wing in a slightly refashioned paint scheme.
