Williams F1 [https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/f1/williams/] founder and team principal, Sir Frank Williams [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frank_Williams_(Formula_One)] has been leading his home-grown team for a very long time. In fact, it has been 50 years since Frank Williams founded the team and became the team principal. To commemorate the occasion, the Williams F1 team have decided to pay a special tribute to the 77-year old. This weekend’s British Grand Prix, also marks the 824th race as team principal for Sir Frank. “We are looking forward to our home race, facing the challenges of this iconic circuit and continuing our progress,” revealed Williams F1 senior race engineer Dave Robson. “This will be George’s [Russell] first experience of a home Formula One race and the power of the local British crowd, and a great opportunity for him to understand how to harness this support. “With this race so close to our base, we also welcome the fact that Sir Frank will be able to join us over the weekend as we celebrate his 50th anniversary as a Formula One Team Principal.” [http://www.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/bf0f56584ae02da4d21f24f35b948b9d.jpg] Meanwhile, George Russell [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/george-russell/] will also be gearing up for his maiden home grand prix in Formula One machinery. Russell is one of three drivers racing on British soil for ‘Best British driver’ bragging rights, along with Lewis Hamilton [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/lewis-hamilton/] and Lando Norris [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/lando-norris/]. However, on a realistic note, the idea is to be the second best Briton, as Hamilton is in far superior machinery. “I am really looking forward to Silverstone as it will be my first home Grand Prix,” confessed the excited Williams F1 driver. “I have a lot of good memories of Silverstone and it is my favourite circuit on the calendar. So, all in all, it should be a great weekend.” However, there is only so much improvement the Williams F1 team can do since they are the worst team on the current F1 grid.

<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.

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>

Formula One F1 &#8211; Tuscan Grand Prix &#8211; Mugello, Scarperia e San Piero, Italy &#8211; September 11, 2020 Williams&#8217; Nicholas Latifi during practice Bryn Lennon/Pool via REUTERS Williams: 2021 Latest News, Results, Drivers and Car Updates 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&#8217;s sale, Claire announced her departure from F1 along with her father. For a team that&#8217;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, Nigel Mansell, Alain Prost, Damon Hill, and Jacques Villeneuve. George Russell and Nicholas Latifi currently drive for the Grove-based. The team will be retaining both their drivers&#8217; services for the next season. On-track Achievements 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 In 1980 and 1981, Jones clinched the World Constructors&#8217; Championship for Williams F1. They did it again in 1986 and 1987 with Nelson Piquet winning the Drivers&#8217; Championship. From 1992 to 1994, the British outfit sealed the Constructors&#8217; championship again. They took their final Constructors&#8217; 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.

<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.

For a long time, Bernie Ecclestone was the F1 supremo, having founded the Formula One Group. He?spent 40 years as chief executive of the company after gaining control of the commercial rights.

But in 2017, he stepped down and ownership was handed to Liberty Media who have been taking care of F1 since then. To herald their control, they even changed the F1 logo.

Chase Carey was the first F1 CEO in the 'liberty era' of F1 and will be stepping down at the end of the year. Former Ferrari team principal Stefano Domenicali will succeed the American in 2021.

The Formula One world championship is considered by many to be the pinnacle of motorsport.

<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.
