Μια νέα συνεργασία ανακοίνωσε η ομάδα της Williams, με την επενδυτική εταιρεία TAK Group από το Καζακστάν. Η κίνηση αυτή είναι σημαντική για τη βρετανική ομάδα, όπως και κάθε νέος χορηγός, καθώς τα οικονομικά της δεν είναι σε καλή κατάσταση. Από το Ισπανικό Grand Prix, λοιπόν, θα δούμε το όνομα Astana, πρωτεύουσα του Καζακστάν, πάνω στην FW35.
Δηλώσεις από τον Artur Ardavichus της TAK Group και του Sir Frank Williams, ιδρυτή και Προέδρου της Williams, μπορείς να βρεις στο δελτίο Τύπου που ακολουθεί.

The Williams F1 Team is pleased to announce that it has signed an agreement with Kazakhstani investment business TAK Group that will see the Kazakhstani capital, Astana, promoted as part of the arrangement with the team.
The Astana name will be positioned on the SIS vane and outer nose struts on the Williams-Renault FW35 from the Spanish Grand Prix onwards in a move that will provide both sporting and tourism benefits to the city. Since 1997 Astana has been the capital of the Republic of Kazakhstan and is a UNESCO World City. Situated on a bank of the Ishim River, it has become one of the largest business centres in the region and will be the site of Expo 2017 which focuses on future technologies and our ‘energy future’. Ambitious infrastructure projects are also seeing the city emerge as one of the region’s leading tourist destinations.
Speaking about the new partnership Artur Ardavichus of TAK Group said; “Formula One is one of the most high profile sports in the world and its global reach will offer Astana an unrivalled marketing platform. Williams is also one of the most respected teams in the sport so it is especially gratifying to partner with them. We are really looking forward to working together this year to promote sport and tourism in the city of Astana and the country of Kazakhstan as a whole.”
Sir Frank Williams, Founder and Team Principal of the Williams F1 Team, added; “It’s with great pleasure that we welcome TAK Group as a new partner of the team and look forward to working closely with them to achieve their marketing ambitions.”
