Zak Brown has told Williams’ new owners they need to spend big if they are to work their way up the Formula 1 pecking order.
Williams were the subject of a buyout in August when Dorilton Capital took over the team that was founded by Sir Frank Williams, debuting on the F1 grid in 1977, and had been run by he and his family ever since.
Nine constructors’ World Championships came their way between 1980 and 1997, with Williams drivers claiming seven individual titles during the same period.
But the last couple of years have represented very lean times, Williams finishing last of 10 in the constructors’ standings in both 2019 and 2020, with Sir Frank and daughter Claire exiting as team principal and deputy respectively in early September.
