The Hungarian Grand Prix is the closest that Robert Kubica has to a home race, in the absence of a Polish GP. So, with numerous Poles flocking to Hungary to support their driver, the Williams [https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/f1/williams/] F1 team serenaded Kubica for the fans. Leading the cheers, was none other than his own teammate, George Russell [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/george-russell/], to Kubica’s embarrassment. Russell led the chanting for a few seconds, while Robert Kubica was simply standing there and waving to the cheering crowd. In all honesty, Russell is the very definition of ‘Best Teammate Ever’ and certainly deserves the ‘Wingman of the Year’ award. “There will be around 20,000 Polish fans. There will be lots of Hungarian and Dutch nationals, but Poles are one of the largest groups,” Anita Toth, the spokesperson of the Hungaroring [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hungaroring] race track told the Polish Press Agency. “Lots of fans come from Poland for the Hungarian GP to see their ‘national hero’ Robert Kubica on the track. When it turned out that Kubica returns to F1 as part of the Williams team, Poles… purchased a significant part of tickets for the GP,” a Hungarian website wrote. 

When it comes to F1 support in Hungary, there is only one man who rules the
popularity charts, Robert Kubica, and his teammate, George Russell knew it

<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.
<h2>Story of Williams F1</h2>

<h2>Who owns Williams F1?</h2>
Williams is currently owned by Dorilton Capital, a private American investment firm.

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.

<strong>History</strong>

The Formula One World Championship first started back in 1950. The very first F1 champion was Italy's Guiseppe Farina who raced for Alfa Romeo.

The sport has had 33 different champions in its history and a few of them are multiple championship winners. Currently, the driver with the most championships is <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/michael-schumacher/">Michael Schumacher</a> with 7 under his belt. However, <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/f1/mercedes">Mercedes</a> driver <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/lewis-hamilton/">Lewis Hamilton</a> will be eager to overhaul that. Hamilton currently holds 6 World Championships and stands on the cusp of equalling Michael Schumacher's record at the end of the season.

<h3><strong>George Russell: 2021 Net Worth, Salary and Endorsements</strong></h3>
George Russell is a British racing driver. He has been an incredible asset to the historic Williams F1 team alongside his teammate, Nicolas Latifi. The Briton is also a Mercedes junior driver, which has now led him to secure a seat for the 2022 F1 season alongside 7-time world champion, Lewis Hamilton.

He also got a chance to drive the Mercedes F1 car during the 2020 Sakhir Grand Prix when Lewis Hamilton missed the race due to Covid-19. Russell almost pulled off a stunning race victory only for the team to mess up the strategy and deny him of it.

Like all other drivers, Russell began his racing career in karting. He first began competing in 2006 and has not looked back since then.

Russell took his first championship, the 2014 BRDC Formula 4 Championship. He fended off challenges from the likes of <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arjun_Maini">Arjun Maini</a> and Raoul Hyman.

A year later, he placed sixth at the 2015 FIA Formula 3 European Championship. But in 2016, he improved his position to 3rd in the championship.

He moved to the GP3 series in 2017 and became a <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/f1/mercedes">Mercedes</a> and Force India test driver. In the same year, he won the GP3 title from compatriot Jack Aitken.

Following his Formula 2 championship win, Russell signed for Williams in 2019, making his d?but at the 2019 Australian Grand Prix, alongside Robert Kubica.

Russell is contracted to drive for Williams until the conclusion of the 2021 season.

Soon, over the very next race weekend at Spa, he also managed to claim his first podium, followed by another top 10 finish at Sochi. As of the Russian GP, Russell has managed to secure a total of 19 points in his career.

<h2><strong>Robert Kubica 2021: </strong><strong>Net Worth, Salary and Endorsement</strong></h2>
Robert Kubica made his return to Formula One in 2019. His first taste of an F1 car was when he signed with Renault as a test driver.

Sadly, his comeback only lasted a single year following a frustrating time with the Williams Formula 1 team. The Polish driver currently features on the Alfa Romeo roster as a reserve driver.
<h2>Robert Kubica: Stats and Achievements</h2>
A year later, he moved to <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/sauber/">Sauber</a> in the capacity of a test driver, yet again. 2007 was his first full-time season, and he proved to be a decent driver.

However, he suffered a horrific crash at the Canadian Grand Prix that effectively shelved him for the United States Grand Prix.

Incidentally, it also introduced the Formula One world to <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/sebastian-vettel/">Sebastian Vettel</a>. H. His return to France saw a new and improved man. He stayed with Sauber until 2009, subsequently he moved to Renault for a year.

Sadly, a rally accident in early 2011 put a damper on his Formula 1 hopes and dreams for a painfully long time. But life gave him a second chance with a seat at <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/f1/williams/">Williams</a> in 2019.

He is currently the reserve and test driver for the Alfa Romeo F1 team.

After his accident, he won the 2013 World Rally Championship-2. With regard to his F1 results, his maiden podium came in his third race for the BMW team.

He has one career win to his name, at the 2008 Canadian GP, barely a year after his horror crash at the same track. Kubica has also amassed 11 podiums in five years.

Mere days after completing his preseason test with Renault, Kubica was involved in a horrifying rally accident in 2011. The Pole was competing in the Ronde di Andorra rally in Italy when a tricky right-hander effectively ended his hopes of a competitive future in F1.
<h2>Robert Kubica: Canada and Rally crash</h2>
Whilst negotiating a fast turn at high speed, Robert lost control of his car and slammed into the barrier. The impact and timing of the crash resulted in a barrier impaling the car and Kubica's right arm in the process.

Kubica sustained multiple fractures to his shoulder, arms, and legs. However, the biggest injury was to his right hand, which was partially amputated.

But this wasn't Kubica's first near brush with death. At the 2007 Canadian Grand Prix, Kubica suffered a massive crash after tangling with Jarno Trulli towards the hairpin at the Gilles Villeneuve Circuit. Thankfully, he wasn't seriously injured.
