DO YOU KNOW FRANK WILLIAMS' STORY OF OVERCOMING THE ODDS AND LEADING HIS FORMULA 1 TEAM TO GLORY FROM ITS HUMBLE BEGINNINGS? The Williams team is undoubtedly one of the most legendary in Formula 1 due to its long and successful history, with humble beginnings followed by an exciting rise to glory, with its subsequent fall and collapse. After the failed attempt to create Frank Williams Racing Car, Frank did not give up and returned to fight for his dream by creating Williams Grand Prix Engineering. This generated wonderful stories to remember, with Alan Jones pushing the team to the top and Clay Regazzoni achieving the first victory, or Carlos Reutemann fighting with a whole Nelson Piquet who would later also end up being part of Williams. The magic of Williams would lead Rosberg to be an atypical champion, and to attract the attention of legends such as Alain Prost or Nigel Mansell, who would end up being seduced by one of the most sophisticated and technological single-seaters in the history of Formula 1, capable of beating the almighty McLaren. Even one of the greatest legends of Formula 1, the Brazilian Ayrton Senna, showed his recurring desire to drive for Williams, and his name would be linked to the British team for eternity. Only a motor racing prodigy like Michael Schumacher seemed to be able to stop the hegemony of Williams, having to resort to the limits of sportsmanship to compete with drivers like Damon Hill or Jacques Villeneuve. This book shows in a simple way in a light walk the history of Williams in Formula 1 to recall all that this legendary team has contributed to this sport. In this book you will find: - The life of Sir Frank Williams, founder of the Williams team. - The creation of Frank Williams Racing Cars and its irregular trajectory. - The first successes of Frank Williams Racing Cars through Piers Courage and the dramatic end of the British driver. - The partnership with Walter Wolf and the end of Frank Williams Racing Cars - The origin of Williams Grand Prix Engineering and its first successes - Alan Jones' first team points and Regazzoni's first victory - Jones' first title and the atypical championship of Keke Rosberg - The Williams-Renault of champions: Nelson Piquet, Alain Prost and Nigel Mansell - Ayrton Senna's broken dream at Williams - The FW15, the most sophisticated and technological single-seater in history - Schumacher's fight beyond the limit with the Williams of Hill and Villeneuve - Williams-BMW and the attempt to recover the successes of the past - Juan Pablo Montoya and the illusion of winning titles again - Williams-Cosworth and the beginning of the decline of a historic team - The Williams-Mercedes period and the collapse of a historic team All this and much more in a book that will make you enjoy the history of this legendary team in Formula 1!
