A story of true determination - now the subject of a major documentary. Founded in 1977 by Sir Frank Williams and Patrick Head, Williams F1 represents the last of the true independent teams. A company free from corporate dogma and run by aficionados driven by the love for racing and the satisfaction that comes from winning against the rest of the world. From its first Grand Prix win at Silverstone on July 14, 1979, the team has won 116 GPs, crowned seven World Champions - including Nigel Mansell and Damon Hill - and secured nine Constructors' Championships.

This is the definitive story of the Williams team, as told by those who have worked for Williams, from the past to the present. At the heart of the book are the personal memories of Sir Frank, as well as recollections and narratives from people at every level: from the crew to senior management, from mechanics and craftsmen to drivers - including Mansell, Hill, Alain Prost, and Alan Jones, among others. It relates to incredible victories in conditions of superiority, without shying away from the terrifying defeats - the tragic losses of Piers Courage in 1970 and Ayrton Senna in 1994.

Conveying the story and soul of a unique group of people, Williams F1 explains exactly why the Williams team is loved more than any other team in Britain, if not the world.
