Williams is the second-most successful team in the history of Formula 1. After Ferrari, it is one of the most popular Formula 1 teams since its inception in 1978. The team was founded by Frank Williams in 1977 as Frank Williams Racing Cars, but it was rebranded as Williams F1 Racing in 1978, with Alan Jones being the first driver to drive for the team.
In 1979, Clay Regazzoni won the 1979 British Grand Prix, marking the first taste of victory for Williams as an F1 team. With nine constructors' titles, Williams F1 Racing is now the most successful F1 team after Ferrari in terms of championship wins.

In 1980, Regazzoni left the team and was replaced by Carlos Reutemann alongside Alan Jones. With the Ford Cosworth-powered engine, Williams achieved its first constructors' title that year, followed again in 1981. Williams signed a multi-year deal with Honda to be the engine supplier until 1987. With Honda, Williams clinched two constructor titles in 1986 and 1987.
The team partnered with Renault as an engine supplier, and this marks the period of dominance in Williams’ history. The Williams-Renault era started with five constructors' titles. Its last constructor win came in 1997 with Jacques Villeneuve as the drivers' champion. Since then, Williams has been positioned at the back of the grid, hoping to have a comeback year.
