Forty years after Alan Jones won the team’s first F1 drivers’ title, success will be defined in very different terms this season
There are no quick fixes in Formula One, no giant leaps in a sport where fractions can be differentiators. At Williams this harsh reality is well recognised but when they race in Austria this weekend they do so with the added pressure of potentially having to be sold just to stay in F1.
Williams are riding a storm like perhaps no other in their illustrious history. The heritage of Frank Williams’s team is inescapable. They have seven drivers’ titles and this year is the 40th anniversary of Alan Jones clinching their first and with it the first of nine constructors’ championships.
