Atlassian Williams Racing, the iconic British Formula 1 team with nine Constructors’ Championships and responsible for taking seven drivers to World Championship titles, will be prominently featured in the remarkable World Champions Collection at this summer’s special Silverstone Festival, taking place from 22–24 August.
Curated to commemorate the 75th anniversary of the first-ever points-scoring F1 race at Silverstone in 1950, the World Champions Collection will showcase cars driven by all 34 drivers to have claimed the coveted Drivers’ World Championship crown.
Spanning 75 years of innovation and competition, the collection will feature legendary machines ranging from the Alfa Romeo 158 of Giuseppe ‘Nino’ Farina (1950) right through to one of Max Verstappen’s recent Red Bull Racing championship-winning cars.
Seven of the 34 champions raced to the top with Williams, and Williams Heritage are kindly supporting the special display which is open to all festival-goers throughout the Bank Holiday weekend at the birthplace of Formula 1.
“Silverstone isn’t just the site of the very first World Championship race it’s also where Williams claimed its inaugural Grand Prix victory with Clay Regazzoni back in 1979,” said Jonathan Kennard, Heritage Director of Atlassian Williams Racing.
“That unforgettable win, combined with the incredible celebrations after British Grand Prix triumphs by fan favourites like Nigel Mansell and Damon Hill, has cemented Silverstone as a cornerstone of Williams’ rich racing legacy. That’s why we at Williams Heritage are proud to support this year’s Festival celebrations by showcasing legendary cars from our prized collection.”
The presence of these iconic F1 winners from Williams Heritage adds depth and authenticity to the already historic World Champions Collection which will be one of the major highlights of the Festival this summer.
