SynopsisWilliams is one of the most successful teams in the history of Formula 1 racing -- since 1972, it has won eight Constructors' Championships and six Drivers' Championships. But now the team that previously seemed invincible is under threat. In this all-color book, renowned Formula 1 writer Alan Henry examines the operation of this troubled team, which is still criticized for sacking race legend Damon Hill, is battling a born-again Ferrari, and continues to be haunted by the Ayrton Senna court case. Lively prose and splendid color photography thrust the reader into the midst of all the emotion and human drama that is Formula 1., For Williams Grand Prix Engineering, 1994 was going to be a memorable year. The previous two Formula 1 World Championships had been won in a Williams - by Nigel Mansell in 1992, Alain Prost in 1993 - and now three-times World Champion Ayrton Senna was joining the team to partner up-and-coming Damon Hill. The season will indeed never be forgotton, but for the worst possible reason. Here is the full story of those golden years, followed by the Williams team's struggle to cope with Senna's tragic death in 1994, and Hill's Championship battle with Michael Schumacher.
