Williams hacked before the launch of its FW43B

To lift the veil on the FW43B, the weapon used for this 2021 campaign, Williams had decided to use an augmented reality application available on various electronic devices. Unfortunately, the presentation cannot take place through this one.

The Grove structure confirmed a few minutes before the official presentation of the FW43B that the application was hacked. Therefore, it has been removed from the various stores. “ We can only apologize that this was not possible. “Writes Williams in a press release.

We planned to reveal the FW43B, via an augmented reality app later today. However, sadly, because the app was hacked prior to launch, this won't be possible.

We were looking forward to sharing this experience with our fans & can only apologize that this hasn’t been possible.

Despite everything, the presentation of the FW43B will take place this Friday. Photos will be published as will interviews with drivers George Russell and Nicholas as well as CEO Jost Capito and team principal Simon Roberts.

Massive shame. I’ve seen the app and it was going to be an awesome experience for you guys. Whoever did this, seriously not cool. Still buzzing to show you the car later though. See you at 14:00 p.m.  https://t.co/ZKfE8WwBJU
