Williams and Sauber have both confirmed the day they’ll officially launch their 2024 cars with a date just over two weeks before pre-season testing and over a week prior to Ferrari.

Both Williams and Sauber will launch their cars on February 5.

Williams will have an online launch while Sauber’s unveil is set to take place in London.
