Austin! Are you ready? Our Fan Zone, presented by Kraken, opens tomorrow...
As Formula 1 returns to Texas, the Williams Racing Fan Zone presented by Kraken is bringing fans to the heart of the racing action in downtown ATX, and we can't wait to welcome you in.
It's the third time our Fan Zone will stop at 800 Congress in as many years, and we're so excited to give fans the opportunity to interact with the team and its partners in new and exciting ways.
Our visit to Austin forms the seventh stop of our
Williams World Tour, each of which has featured Q&As with drivers and key staff, interactive experiences, and unrivalled access to the sport for fans new and old.
During the week, fans will have the opportunity to:
Hear Q&As from Williams Racing F1 drivers Alex Albon and Franco Colapinto, plus INDY NXT driver Jamie Chadwick, Team Principal James Vowles, 2009 World Champion Jenson Button and more – scroll down for precise timings for each appearance.
Chase the fastest lap times at the Circuit of the Americas on state-of-the-art Esports simulators and see the FW46 show car, complete with Kraken’s Rear Wing Takeover, up close
