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. This title explains why the Williams team is held in more affection than any other team in Britain, if not the world.
An air of mystery surrounds Frank Williams. The most consistently successful Grand Prix team owner of the past twenty years, he remains impassive to success or failure. His gaunt expression - frequently caught on television as he sits, hunched in a wheelchair - conveys no emotion. Yet his actions have frequently caused a storm.
He is one of the best known faces in television comedy, yet the long-suffering vicar of Walmington-on-Sea is in real life a Christian of deep conviction. Perfectly cast as the eccentric vicar, constantly tetchy at the invasion of his church hall by Captain Mainwaring and the elderly platoon, he appeared in the famous BBC series throughout its nine-year run and also in many other television and stage dramas. Still in constant demand for public appearances Frank takes an affectionate view behind the scenes of Dad's Army and the world of show business and reveals his personal journey through faith.
This is the authorised photographic story of one of the great F1 teams. Established in 1977 by Frank Williams (a not particularly successful driver) and a young, talented engineer Patrick Head. Williams has won seven drivers championships, 108 grand prix victories and nine constructors' championships. Since the start Williams have created an exclusiv, hand-selected archive of the best photographs of the team and their successes. This is first time these photographs have been used in a book and the first time many have been seen. This is the ultimate F1 fans souvenir and a must have for followers of Williams.
