Williams has announced that they will release a movie this year, telling the true story of one of Formula 1's most successful teams. It will be directed by BAFTA-winning director Morgan Matthews and based on the 1992 book 'A Different Kind of Life' by Lady Virginia Williams.
Claire Williams, Deputy Team Principal said: "This film is a tale of two great loves in my father’s life. Everyone knows of Frank’s pure passion for motor racing, but not everyone knows the remarkable story of my parents’ marriage and how those two things co-existed during the highs and lows of the team’s journey. I am pleased that it shines a light on exactly how instrumental my mother was in the team’s success while also capturing the setbacks and her bravery in holding the family, and ultimately the business together, as the team went on to make history.
"We are incredibly proud of the film and its enduring message of what the human spirit is capable of achieving in the face adversity. I hope that is inspires people as much as my parents’ story inspires me. As my dad would want it though, we are proud of our past but ready for the future. The most exciting part is our plan to build on Frank’s legacy and write a new chapter in the Williams story – something we are building momentum towards."
Curzon Artificial Eye will be hosting the premiere of the movie which will simply be titled 'Williams', at the Curzon Mayfair on July 11th. Present will be deputy team principal Claire Williams, past and present drivers plus two iconic Williams cars.
