In May 2013, Williams signed a long-term contract with Mercedes to supply engines for the team, the German manufacturer providing 1.6-litre V6 turbo engines from the start of the 2014 season.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.formula1.com/news/headlines/2013/5/14622.html|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130607180129/http://www.formula1.com/news/headlines/2013/5/14622.html |archive-date=7 June 2013|title=Williams move to Mercedes power for 2014|work=Formula1.com|publisher=[[Formula One Group|Formula One Administration]]|date=30 May 2013|access-date=13 December 2014}}</ref> Bottas was retained as driver for {{F1|2014}}, and [[Felipe Massa]] was signed from [[Scuderia Ferrari|Ferrari]] to replace Maldonado.

The team won its first pole position since 2012, courtesy of Massa at the {{F1 GP|2014|Austrian}}; it was the only time that [[Mercedes-Benz in Formula One|Mercedes]] would be beaten to pole position over the course of the 2014 season. With Bottas qualifying alongside Massa, it was also the first time the team had locked out the front row since the [[2003 German Grand Prix]].<ref>{{cite news|first=Paul|last=Weaver|url=https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2014/jun/21/felipe-massa-pole-austrian-gp-f1|title=Felipe Massa on pole at F1's Austrian GP as Lewis Hamilton spins|date=21 June 2014|access-date=13 December 2014|work=[[The Guardian]]}}</ref> The team enjoyed an upturn in performance, including a double podium in [[2014 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix|Abu Dhabi]], resulting in them taking third place in the Constructors' Championship.

The team went into the {{F1|2016}} season with Bottas and Massa retained.

Williams struggled over the course of the 2018 season, scoring only 7 points and finishing last in the Constructors' Championship standings. Although the [[Williams FW41|FW41]] rarely suffered from reliability issues, it was significantly off the pace; the team's highest finish was Stroll's 8th-place finish in [[2018 Azerbaijan Grand Prix|Azerbaijan]]. The team's only other points finish was at the {{F1 GP|2018|Italian}}, with Stroll finishing 9th and Sirotkin scoring his first championship point in 10th. This was also the only Grand Prix of the season in which the team reached the third qualifying session, with Stroll starting 10th on the grid.

On 12 October 2018, the team announced that reigning [[2018 Formula 2 Championship|Formula 2]] champion [[George Russell (racing driver)|George Russell]] would be joining the team for the {{F1|2019}} season.

Williams missed the first two-and-a-half days of pre-season testing in [[Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya|Barcelona]] due to the [[Williams FW42|FW42]] not yet being ready, the only team to suffer such a setback.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/formula1/47308080|title=Formula 1 testing 2019: Williams describe delayed start to testing as 'embarrassing'|website=bbc.co.uk|date=20 February 2019|access-date=21 May 2020}}</ref> Williams began the season out of reach from being competitive. During qualifying at the season-opener in [[2019 Australian Grand Prix|Australia]], their fastest time was almost 1.3 seconds slower than the nearest competitor. In the race, Russell and Kubica finished two and three laps behind the leader respectively. The team's best result of the season came in [[2019 German Grand Prix|Germany]], where Kubica was classified 10th, the team's only points finish that season. However, this result only came after post-race penalties for other drivers. Upgrades came during the season with which the FW42 began to catch up to its competitors; Russell came within 0.1 seconds of reaching Q2 in qualifying for the {{F1 GP|2019|Hungarian}} and finished close to the points with 12th in [[2019 Brazilian Grand Prix|Brazil]]. However, both cars would be eliminated in Q1 at every race of the season. Despite the team's lack of performance in comparison to 2014–2017, it was confirmed that Williams have extended their engine supplier partnership with Mercedes until 2025.<ref name="auto">{{cite news |last1=Horton |first1=Phillip |title=Williams extends Mercedes F1 power unit deal through 2025 |url=https://motorsportweek.com/news/id/24415 |access-date=13 September 2019 |work=motorsportweek.com |publisher=Motorsport Media Services Ltd |date=13 September 2019 |archive-date=21 September 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190921211835/https://motorsportweek.com/news/id/24415 |url-status=dead }}</ref>

The season-opener of the {{F1 GP|2023|Bahrain}} saw Albon score one point in tenth ahead of Sargeant, who finished twelfth. Albon retired at the following race at the {{F1 GP|2023|Saudi Arabian}} due to a brake failure with Sargeant placing sixteenth after he failed to set a time within the [[107% rule]] in qualification due to mechanical issues. In the {{F1 GP|2023|Australian}}, Albon retired again after losing control of his car and crashing heavily early into the race, causing a red flag. Sargeant, meanwhile, crashed with [[Scuderia AlphaTauri|AlphaTauri]] driver [[Nyck de Vries]] during lap 56 of 58 after a restart. However, Sargeant was classified as having finished 16th, given that he had completed more than 90% of the race distance. Albon and Sargeant were retained for the {{f1|2024}} season.
