VIDEO: Williams trailer out – documentary explores story of Sir Frank Williams’ F1 team and family

Formula One fans looking for a riveting documentary about the sport after Senna will have something to look forward to, as Williams – which chronicles the story of one of the grid’s most iconic teams – is set to hit theatres in the United Kingdom on August 4.

The trailer for the film is now here, and it promises an in-depth look into not just the nine-time championship-winning outfit, but also Sir Frank Williams himself as well as his family. To be released as the team celebrates its 40th anniversary, Williams is directed by BAFTA-winning director Morgan Matthews, and is based on the 1991 book by Lady Virginia Williams, titled A Different Kind of Life.

The film will explore Sir Frank’s journey from his brief racing career, through his team’s dominance of the sport in the ’80s and ’90s, to his life-threatening accident in 1986 and the more recent handover of the team to his daughter Claire. Historic racing footage will feature throughout, plus interviews with team co-founder Sir Patrick Head as well as drivers such as Sir Jackie Stewart, Nigel Mansell and Nelson Piquet.

  • McLaren is 2nd most winningest team, yet no film. How saddings. Probably they malu to include the 2nd partnership with Honda. Ini mesti salah jepunis lord.

      McLaren had won many F1 championships in the late 80s, powered by Honda.

    • With how things r going at McLaren, he wud just go to any team that has a Mesidis engine. Williams is oso due to change to Hondas, so thats a no go for him.
