A story of true drive - now the topic of a major documentary
Founded in 1977 by Sir Frank Williams and Patrick Head, Williams F1
represents the last of the true independent teams; a company devoid
of corporate dogma and run by enthusiasts driven by a love of
racing and the satisfaction that comes with beating the rest of the
world. Since its first Grand Prix victory at Silverstone on 14 July
1979, the team has won a further 116 GPs, delivered seven World
Champions - among them Nigel Mansell and Damon Hill - and won nine
Constructors Championships. This is the definitive history of the
Williams team as told by those who have worked for Williams past
and present. At the heart of the book are Sir Frank's personal
recollections, along with memories and anecdotes from those at
every level: from the shop floor to the upper strata of management;
from the mechanics and machinists to the drivers - Mansell, Hill,
Alain Prost and Alan Jones among them. It relates both the
incredible highs of winning against the odds while never shying the
terrible lows - the tragic deaths of Piers Courage in 1970 and
Ayrton Senna in 1994 among them. Conveying the history and soul of
a unique band of people, Williams F1 explains exactly why the
Williams team is held in more affection than any other team in
Britain, if not the world.
