For those who do not know, the company behind the livery is Martini & Rossi which is an Italian alcohol distillery and they have a long and successful history with motorsports. Much like the Red Bull energy drinks company is now you could say.
The Martini livery first appeared in motorsport arena in the 1960s. Its first appearance in F1 was in 1972 when it partnered with Tecno for a year.

Williams and Martini share a rich history in the world of motorsport, and the values of our two brands and our shared passion for racing make this partnership a natural fit. It will be great to see the distinctive stripes of Martini Racing return to Formula 1 once again in unison with Williams."
"In Martini we have a brand that shares a passion for motor racing and winning championships. This partnership is a milestone in our history and we look forward to working closely with Martini over the coming years."
"2014 is going to be a fascinating season, with regulation changes of this scale often shaking up the grid and creating opportunities for teams to make a good step forward," he added.
