The team won the F1 drivers’ title seven times and the constructors’ championship on nine occasions under Williams’ stewardship. A statement from Williams Racing read: “It is with great sadness that on behalf of the Williams family, the team can confirm the death of Sir Frank Williams CBE, founder and former team principal of Williams Racing, at the age of 79. Williams ceased to have any involvement with the team following its sale in 2020. My thoughts are with all the Williams family and friends at this sad time.”.
