Charting the story of Formula One’s most celebrated family, Williams is a thrilling account of how one man built a racing empire and a heart-rending portrait of the aftermath of a tragedy. Starting with nothing other than a single-minded obsession for speed, Sir Frank Williams created one of the world’s most enduring Formula One racing teams, winning nine Constructors’ Championships over the last 40 years. Williams tells the story of Frank’s rise to fame and how his family battled to keep him alive and the team afloat after the crash that left Frank wheelchair-bound for the rest of his life.
