	Welcome to F1park.com
		Frank was the first team owner to give Senna a test in a Formula One car, and he wanted the Brazilian star on his team.
		Williams opted to go for the raw young talent of 20-year-old English driver, Jenson Button in the hope that he could deliver what Zanardi couldn't.
		Button proved to be a blessing in disguise, however Sir Frank was faced with a very tough choice, to keep the young Englishman or opt for Colombian superstar, Juan Pablo Montoya.

	Frank Williams - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Williams purchased an old Brabham Formula One chassis; Courage drove it in several F1 events, coming in second place twice.
		In 1970 Williams undertook a brief partnership with Alessandro de Tomaso; after the death of Courage at the Dutch Grand Prix, his relationship with de Tomaso was over by the end of the year.
		Williams, short on cash (he conducted team business from a telephone box at one point after being disconnected for unpaid bills), looked to Marlboro and Iso, an Italian car company, for sponsorship.

	All Rise for the Honourable Sir Frank
		Frank Williams became the first Formula One team owner to receive a knighthood when he was recognized for his services to motor sport in Britain's latest New Year honours list.
		Francis Owen Garbatt Williams was born on the 16th of April 1942 on Tyneside in northern England.
		Frank Williams, though, is unlikely to dwell too much on this honour or its ramifications for his team or the racing industry, for just like the titles his team and drivers have won it is now part of history.

		FRANK WILLIAMS: It would appear to be so because Mr Ecclestone, who promotes all the grand prix races, thinks the race either should not happen at all or be held somewhere else, but there is nowhere else in the UK that is all suitable.
		FRANK WILLIAMS: Well he does have a great deal of power and he owns a lot of contracts, including one with the British grand prix organisers for many years to come.
		FRANK WILLIAMS: I'm not sure that's the case, because I think the tobacco wealth, I think the companies who make cigarettes, their wealth is beginning to wane, little by little, because of the endless lawsuits against those companies.

		The icy look Sir Frank is seen to wear on television as he watches his drivers race perhaps contributes to his reputation for being hard on drivers.

		Sir Frank Williams is a master of understatement but a magician in Formula One, conjuring nine championships as a constructor in 25 years; Ferrari have 13 titles but needed almost twice as long to get them.
		Williams says that the Brazilian was the first complete racing driver, a man who could think as well as drive, whose body was a part of the total racing machine, as finely tuned as his Williams Renault car.
		Williams speculates now that Senna’s stature and his dedication to changing the lives of his countrymen were so great that he might have made a political career.

		Sir Frank Williams has shown he still has a large amount of faith in Jacques Villeneuve, the last driver to have claimed the Formula 1 title for the Williams team.
		Sir Williams also emphasised that the blame for Villeneuve's recent poor results don't rest with Jacques, but instead with BAR Honda, as a driver can push only so much from the car he's given.
		Sir Frank commented, saying: "What we have here is one of the basic tenets of Formula One: no matter how good he is, a driver is always coloured by his car.

		Williams was responding to suggestions that Juan Pablo Montoya might be moving to McLaren next year, a year before his deal with the Woking team is due to begin.
		It is virtually certain that Ralf Schumacher will stay at Williams until the end of 2006 but beyond that there is room for negotiation as Williams does not want to have a year with a demotivated Montoya and obviously Montoya does not want to stay with a team that has lost interest in him.

		Williams is a no-nonsense old school team boss, and sees no reason to pander to his drivers - current or future - as the team comes first in almost every department.
		Williams, however, cannot understand Button's change of heart, claiming that his team won't be far from the front of the field.
