Bernie Ecclestone has completely ignored the internet. I'm so glad the new owner's care so much more about fan's around the world. Ecclestone has lived in a rich man's bubble, isolating the F1 from common fan's as much as possible. Yeah I liked the car's of the 1980s 1990's early 2000s more (pre hybrid era) but under the new ownership F1 is getting better again.

Beautiful story! It might sound childish but when got my first F1 game for PSX it was back in 97 and the Renault Williams was the car I raced with all the time as Jacques Villeneuve.

[@Viscount_Castlereagh]

My favourite team in F1. I only started watching in 2018 but I sort of fell in love with the team and it's family atmosphere. Then I started to learn the history and discovered that my dad followed Williams in the Mansell days. I'm excited to be part of their next chapter in history and feel that the only way is up.

[@MichaelGerrard]

That was an excellent tribute. I am one of those who watched Nigel Mansell, that era drew me in, sparked my interest in F1. I wish Williams all the best for the future, they are at the heart of F1.

It's a shame that Williams never parlayed their formula 1 pedigree to go into selling road and track cars to have a business model that actually made them profitable. Such a shame.

[@louisgreschner2359]

With Dorilton they found the right people to carry the team. They love Williams, they stand for everything Frank stood for, they offered them to keep their positions in the team as well, they bought the team to ensure the Williams legacy can live on. Thank you Dorilton Capital for saving the most legendary team in F1 history, I'm sure eventually they will get back up again
