Sir Frank Williams and Claire Williams leaves Williams F1 Team after this weekends Italian Grand Prix

It was confirmed on Thursday (3/9/20), Sir Frank Williams and Claire Williams will leave there roles as Team Principal and Deputy Team Principal at Williams after this weekends Italian Grand Prix. Williams, which has struggled both on and off-track in recent years, was sold to Dorilton Capital last month.



Sir Frank Williams has held the role of Team Principal since the teams foundation in 1977 while daughter Claire took over day-to-day running in 2013 under the guise of Deputy Team Principal.

The family ran Williams for 739 Grand Prixs, taking 114 Wins, and 17 World Titles (nine Constructors’, seven Drivers’ titles).



No word who will replace Sir Frank at Williams for the rest of the season.

In my opinion, this might be the right time for Sir Frank Williams and Claire Williams to leave the team with new owners instead of being pushed out in 18 months time. Some big question marks ahead for Williams team for the short to mid-term to the team. All we know its interesting times ahead for Williams.

End of an era for Formula 1.
