At first glance, nothing has changed, you could say. There are two more race cars always white, the team is still always last in the design championship and also the name is the same. But the team Williams at that time it is undergoing a great deal of renewal and change.
Family Williams around the founder of the team Frank Williams and his daughters Claire, sold the team to an American investment company Dorilton Capital. Not much is known about the actual people behind this company at the time. But the connections go all the way back of the British royal family. Does that mean it is Williams now the royal team?
He's the interim team boss Simon Roberts, who had previously worked for teams McLaren in Force India. The Management Board consists of three persons: Matthew savage in Darren Fultz, which are hitherto unlisted sheets of paper in motorsport and which are in charge of running the company Dorilton Capital. And then there's here James Matthews, who was also a racer himself in the 90s. In 1994, he won the series title Renault Eurocup formula, which was generally a very well occupied lower series. Valtteri Bottas he earned a title in it in 2008, Pierre Gasly in 2013 and Lando Norris in 2016. But after two unsuccessful years in the UK Formulas 3 Matthews hung his helmet on a wedge.
But it is in the UK Matthews a very well known person in public. His family was enriched by a company of so-called hedge funds, where these are investment funds with a highly speculative investment strategy. Years 2017 Matthews married s Pippa Middleton. Her sister Catherine she is married to a prince William, the future British king. So it is Matthews married to Prince William's sister-in-law. And so we came to the door Buckingham Palace.
Drawn below the line this means: New team owners Williams have a link all the way up to of the British Royal House, a lot of money and apparently also availableto lead the team from the beginning of the starting line towards the middle and the top.
