Williams Week – 4th January 2021 – The Week in Review

The Williams Week


A round-up of interesting Williams related stories found on the web this week:

“They’re going to need to invest, the new investors, a lot of money. They are behind in revenue from finishing 10th in the championship, and doesn’t appear to have much sponsorship.” – Zak Brown

Of course, the spectre of 2022 looms, and before too long that development focus will be redirected fully on F1’s latest rules revolution. Williams will be hoping the new technical regulations, and the playing field-levelling aims of the cost cap, will help it climb back towards its former F1 glory. But the team can at least reflect on 2020 as having closed the gap to the rest and got involved in some scraps at times.
