With Williams switching from Renault to Mercedes engines next season, the team will become the fourth team to run the German marque's Internal Combustion Engine, supplied by Mercedes AMG High Performance Powertrains.
Speaking about the long-term engine partnership, Williams F1 Founder Sir Frank Williams said: "I’m delighted to announce our new association with Mercedes-Benz for the 2014 Formula One season and beyond. Mercedes-Benz has been one of the sport’s most successful engine suppliers and we believe that they will have an extremely competitive engine package."
"I would also like to take this opportunity to thank Renault for their continued hard work since we renewed our engine partnership at the beginning of the 2012 season. We have enjoyed a strong relationship that has resulted in much success over the years, including powering us to winning ways once again last year at the Spanish Grand Prix."
Claire Williams, Deputy Team Principal: "The announcement of this partnership is exciting news for Williams. Securing the right engine supply partnership is a key milestone in the implementation of our strategy for long term success. We are also pleased to conclude this agreement early in the season and we very much look forward to working with Mercedes AMG HPP in developing our 2014 race car."
