However, both the brands will be the focus of a new television commercial. Williams and Duracell were planning on activations at races this year starting from the Miami Grand Prix in May.
The Duracell branding will feature on the new 2022 car, the team kit and the overalls of their drivers, Nicholas Latifi and Alex Albon. Williams had recently posted a video of the reactions of their drivers on Twitter. But, it is still unclear whether it had the Duracell name on it as the deal happened afterwards.
