Despite the sale, the Williams team will perform with the same name and operate from the same British base in future.
Prior to the sale the Williams was a British family-owned team with Sir Franck Williams as Principal and Claire Williams as Deputy Team Principal. But from now on Williams will be owned by an American firm Dorilton Capital.
During the World Championship 2020 the Canadian Nicholas Latifi and the British George Russel have been driving the Mercedes for Williams.
