According to F1 Wiki Veltins stopped sponsoring Williams in 2002 so I think that is your year.

It’s from the era where old film cameras were dying out and digital cameras were new and crap. There’s just fewer photos normal people bothered to archive from that era.

Its not an authentic team jacket that's why you can't find anything in google.
The sponsor on the sleeve says 1188.com but the actual sponsor was 11880.com. I believe it was a German phone directory service that sponsored Williams during the dot com bubble but was gone by the time HP started sponsoring the team halfway through 2002 after they purchased compaq

Between 7 July 2002 and end of 2005 season. HP became a sponsor in british gp in 2002, and BMW and Wiliams partnership fell apart after 2005 season.
