Former F1 driver Felipe Massa will be the latest ex-Formula One recruit to join the Formula E bandwagon. The Brazilian veteran has signed for the Venturi Formula E [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Venturi_Grand_Prix] team for season five of the championship. Massa retired from F1 at the end of the 2017 season after agreeing to stick around for one more year. Initially, his retirement was slated for 2016, but Valtteri Bottas’ sudden move to Mercedes and a vacant seat at Williams saw him don the overalls again. When he retired for good, he had amassed 1,167 points, 41 podiums and 11 wins in F1. The 37-year old will make his debut in the all-electric series later this year when season five gets underway. Felipe Massa [http://www.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/download-5-1.jpg]Felipe Massa The Venturi team has been in Formula E since the inaugural 2014/2015 season and has scored three podiums in its entire career. Their 3 podiums have come from Nick Heidfeld, Stephane Sarrazin and Edoardo Mortara. Heidfeld, currently racing for Mahindra [https://www.essentiallysports.com/mahindra-retain-heidfeld-and-rosenqvist-for-formula-e-season-4/], scored a 3rd in the inaugural season in Moscow. Sarrazin’s went one better in season 2 and Mortara equalled that feat in season 4. In fact, Mortara was in the lead but spun and settled for 2nd. Though later, the winner, Daniel Abt was disqualified for a technical infringement. “I’m very happy to be joining the Venturi Formula E Team and the ABB FIA Formula E championship, which has become a magnificent competition in such a short space of time,” Massa said. The ABB Formula E Championship is currently in its fourth season. The all-electric sport has used the same single-make chassis since its inception in 2014. However, for the 2018/2019 season, the sport unveiled a Gen 2 car. It will hit the streets for the first time and will coincide with a step forward in battery technology. This technology will allow drivers to complete a full race distance without the need for a car swap midway through. The Venturi team is co-owned by Hollywood actor Leonardo DiCaprio and is based in Monaco. 

Formula E may soon become a sought after destination for ex-F1 drivers. The
all-electric series will see Felipe Massa join the Venturi team for season 5

<h2>Williams: 2021 Latest News, Results, Drivers and Car Updates</h2>
Williams F1 is another team that has a lot of history in Formula One. The origins of the team can be traced back to 1977. What?s different about this team is that it has always been a family-run team.

The founder of the team is Sir Frank Williams, who functioned in the capacity of the Team Principal for quite some time. His daughter, Claire Williams, succeeded him as the Deputy Team Principal before stepping down from her role in 2020.

Following a dismal campaign in 2019 and a major financial crunch in 2020, the team put up a majority stake of the team for sale. In August, a private American firm, Dorilton Capital, acquired the team.

Following the team's sale, Claire announced her departure from F1 along with her father. For a team that's been family owned for well over 4 decades, it truly was the end of an era.

In its long and storied history, Williams has produced 7 World Champions. They are Alan Jones, Keke Rosberg, Nelson Piquet, <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/nigel-mansell/">Nigel Mansell</a>, <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/alain-prost/">Alain Prost</a>, Damon Hill, and Jacques Villeneuve.

George Russell and Nicholas Latifi currently drive for the Grove-based. The team will be retaining both their drivers' services for the next season.
<h2><strong>On-track Achievements</strong></h2>
In their inaugural year in 1977, they did not enjoy a great start. However, in 1978, Alan Jones brought forth their first tally of points with a 4th placed finish in South Africa. He followed it up later in the season with a 2nd in the USA.

In 1979, Williams entered two cars, with Clay Regazzoni partnering Jones. Regazzoni bagged the first win in Great Britain before Jones followed that feat up with three back-to-back wins in Germany, Austria, and the Netherlands. He took another win in Canada, with Regazzoni in 3rd.

NO RESALES. NO ARCHIVES[/caption]

In 1980 and 1981, Jones clinched the World Constructors' Championship for Williams F1. They did it again in 1986 and 1987 with Nelson Piquet winning the Drivers' Championship.

From 1992 to 1994, the British outfit sealed the Constructors' championship again. They took their final Constructors' titles in 1996 and 1997.

Sadly, the team is yet to replicate its once feared win streak in Formula 1. Over two decades on, Williams is a shell of its former self. The British team is in a constant battle to score some points.

So far this season, the team has been unsuccessful.
