From Williams
Williams F1 Team is celebrating a landmark achievement this weekend at the British Grand Prix - reaching 600 races in Formula 1.
Founded in 1977 by Frank Williams and Patrick Head, Williams has secured 297 podiums, 114 race wins and 16 World Championship titles over the past 36 years.
Nine of these titles have been won in the Constructors' Championship, with the remaining seven titles being Drivers' Championships won with Alan Jones, Keke Rosberg, Nelson Piquet, Nigel Mansell, Alain Prost, Damon Hill and Jacques Villeneuve.
Williams has grown into a significant international business since its inception and its achievements have earned Founder and Team Principal Frank Williams a knighthood in the 1999 New Year's Honours List to augment France's highest decoration, the legion d'Honneur.
The team will publicly celebrate reaching 600 races at its home Grand Prix this weekend - a fitting place to celebrate as Silverstone witnessed the team's first ever race win in 1979 and its 100th race win in 1997.
The team will officially reach 600 starts in F1 at the German Grand Prix the following weekend, and will mark this milestone by displaying the number 600 on the sidepod of both FW35s.
The livery will also be emblazoned with the names of all 691 Williams employees who work across all divisions of the Williams Group as a tribute to their continued hard work and dedication.
