Williams is pleased to announce that it has signed a renewed partnership agreement with Wihuri, one of Finland's most respected business enterprises, for the 2016 Formula One season. The Wihuri logo will now feature on the front wing endplate of the upcoming Williams Mercedes FW38. The Wihuri logo will also feature on the drivers' helmets and overalls, as well as team clothing.
Headquartered in Finland, Wihuri is a global industry and trade conglomerate engaged in packaging products, daily goods wholesale operations, technical trade investment products and aviation. Over the past century, Wihuri has grown from a small family business into a diversified global enterprise which operates in 20 countries. It is still owned by the family that formed the company 110 years ago. Wihuri first became a partner of Williams in May 2012, but their heritage in motorsport sponsorship dates back to the 1970s.

With their countryman Valtteri Bottas behind the wheel of the FW38, we look forward to celebrating more success together."

There are alot of wild cards for next year. Williams, Ferrari, Force India, Toro Rosso, Red Bull, Haas, Renault, McLaren.. we dont know how any of those will fare next year, if they'll improve or get worse off. The only constant in this is that Mercedes will be strong. All I hope is that the others will have improved enough to actually mount a challenge against them.
