1977-1979

Williams Grand Prix Engineering was founded by Frank Williams and Patrick Head in 1977. In 1979, Clay Regazzoni won the British Grand Prix - the team's first victory - and Alan Jones added four more wins, taking Williams to second in the constructors standings and signalling the arrival of a major new force in Formula 1.

1980-1987

Alan Jones delivered Williams its first constructors and drivers double in 1980. Further titles followed in 1981 with Carlos Reutemann close to the drivers crown. Honda turbo power transformed the team again in 1986 and 1987, with Nelson Piquet claiming the drivers title and Williams back-to-back constructors championships.

1988-1997

After losing Honda power, Williams partnered with Renault in 1989 and rebuilt. The early 1990s became the greatest era in team history: Nigel Mansell in 1992, Alain Prost in 1993, Damon Hill in 1994 and 1996, and Jacques Villeneuve in 1997 all took drivers titles. Five constructors championships in this period cemented Williams as one of the all-time great teams in Formula 1 history.

1998-2013

Losing Renault power and failing to replicate past glories, Williams entered a long period of decline. BMW engines brought brief promise, but the team spent most of the 2000s and early 2010s in the midfield or lower. Pastor Maldonado's Spanish Grand Prix win in 2012 was a rare highlight during a difficult stretch.

2014-2020

Switching to Mercedes power in 2014 brought an immediate resurgence: Williams finished third in the constructors championship that year. Valtteri Bottas emerged as a future race winner. However, the team struggled to maintain momentum and fell to last place in 2018, 2019, and 2020 as ownership changed hands.

2021-2025

Dorilton Capital acquired Williams in 2021 and the rebuild began in earnest. James Vowles arrived as team principal from Mercedes in 2023 with a clear plan and renewed resources. Alexander Albon established himself as one of the best midfield drivers on the grid. In 2025, with Carlos Sainz joining Albon, Williams claimed fifth in the constructors standings - their best result in over a decade.

2026

Williams enters 2026 with the FW48, retaining Mercedes power and the proven pairing of Carlos Sainz and Alexander Albon. Currently eighth in the standings after five races, the team is determined to build on 2025 momentum and fight consistently for points through the season.
