In total, Williams captured sixteen Formula 1 world titles. Seven of them were won by drivers, the other nine were constructor titles. The latest world titles date back to 1997 and the most recent Grand Prix victory dates from 2012.
After that, things slowly went downhill with the team, the absolute low point of the past two seasons. The historic racing stable finished last in the championship twice, and certainly last year only desolate was driven behind.
However, team boss Claire Williams has big plans for the family business. It wants to become competitive again and participate at the top, but then there must be significant investment by a third party.
“Last year, before the virus even existed, we already talked within the team about the need for investment. We knew that if we wanted to get back into the sport, we would need more than just the sponsorship and prize money we now receive. “
“We want the best for the team. If that means we have to sell the team completely, that’s okay. If it means we have to sell a majority share, so be it. Or if someone wants to join the team and get together it would be great. “
“At the moment we could probably keep our heads above water, but we’ve been doing it too long that way. It’s time for a change,” said Williams in conversation with Coach. In the new rules for 2022, the British sees the perfect opportunity for Williams to restart the way up.
