Williams Racing was founded by Sir Frank Williams and is one of the most successful teams in Formula One history. The team has won nine Constructors’ Championships and seven Drivers’ titles, with its most successful period coming during the 1980s and 1990s. During that era, Williams regularly fought at the front of the grid with world champions such as Nigel Mansell, Alain Prost, Damon Hill, and Jacques Villeneuve.
Entering the 2000s, Williams experienced a period of decline as the sport became increasingly dominated by manufacturer-backed teams with greater financial and technical resources. The passing of Sir Frank Williams marked the end of a defining chapter, but the team remained committed to rebuilding under new ownership and leadership.
In 2025, Williams took a major step forward by signing race-winning driver Carlos Sainz, forming a strong and experienced pairing alongside Alex Albon. The team also announced a significant multi-year title sponsorship with Atlassian, officially rebranding as Atlassian Williams Racing, signalling renewed ambition and long-term commitment to success in Formula One.
