How Williams Racing Started
Frank Williams started Williams in 1977. His earlier team, Frank Williams Racing Cars, was not very successful. Even with a new owner and a new name, Wolf–Williams Racing, the cars were not competitive in 1976. So, Williams left and moved to Didcot, Oxfordshire. He rebuilt his team as Williams Grand Prix Engineering. Frank asked Patrick Head to join him, forming the Williams–Head partnership.

Head designed the FW07 car for 1979. This was the team's first "ground effect" car, which helps cars stick to the track. Clay Regazzoni joined Jones as a second driver. The team got their first win at their home race, the British Grand Prix Grand Prix. Jones then won three more races in a row. Williams greatly improved, finishing second in the Constructors' Championship.

Honda Engines (1983–1987)

Renault Engines (1989–1997)
Williams started using Renault engines in 1989. These engines, combined with Adrian Newey's car designs, helped the team dominate Formula One in the mid-1990s.
1989 Season
The Renault era began in 1989 with Riccardo Patrese and Thierry Boutsen as drivers. Their first race with Renault engines was tough. However, they soon found success.

1994 Season
Williams signed Ayrton Senna for 1994. The team's new car, the FW16, was fast but tricky to drive. This was because new rules banned electronic driver aids. Senna tragically died in a crash at the 1994 San Marino Grand Prix. His death deeply affected the team and the sport. After Senna's death, Williams cars carried a special 's' symbol in his honor.
Damon Hill became the lead driver. David Coulthard and later Nigel Mansell joined as his teammates. Hill won the team's first victory of the season in Spain. Williams won the Constructors' Championship for the third year in a row.

Cosworth Engines (2006)
