DO YOU KNOW FRANK WILLIAMS' STORY OF OVERCOMING THE ODDS AND LEADING HIS FORMULA 1 TEAM TO GLORY FROM ITS HUMBLE BEGINNINGS?
The Williams team is undoubtedly one of the most legendary in Formula 1 due to its long and successful history, with humble beginnings followed by an exciting rise to glory, with its subsequent fall and collapse. After the failed attempt to create Frank Williams Racing Car, Frank did not give up and returned to fight for his dream by creating Williams Grand Prix Engineering.
This generated wonderful stories to remember, with Alan Jones pushing the team to the top and Clay Regazzoni achieving the first victory, or Carlos Reutemann fighting with a whole Nelson Piquet who would later also end up being part of Williams. The magic of Williams would lead Rosberg to be an atypical champion, and to attract the attention of legends such as Alain Prost or Nigel Mansell, who would end up being seduced by one of the most sophisticated and technological single-seaters in the history of Formula 1, capable of beating the almighty McLaren.
Even one of the greatest legends of Formula 1, the Brazilian Ayrton Senna, showed his recurring desire to drive for Williams, and his name would be linked to the British team for eternity.
Only a motor racing prodigy like Michael Schumacher seemed to be able to stop the hegemony of Williams, having to resort to the limits of sportsmanship to compete with drivers like Damon Hill or Jacques Villeneuve.
