Product Notes
Sir Frank Williams CBE, the driving force behind one of the most successful Formula One teams in Grand Prix history. Success has made him a legend, but it was his determined battle against the odds which first made him a Grand Prix Hero. In this film, narrated by Sir Stirling Moss, we remember the star drivers who played their part in the story of the Williams Grand Prix team, including Ayrton Senna, Alain Prost, Nigel Mansell, Damon Hill, Jacques Villeneuve and Nelson Piquet. However, the focus in on the early years and the turbulent decade before Williams enjoyed his first World Championship victory. Spectacular archive footage, interviews and rarely-seen 'behind-the-scenes' access follow the journey from back marker to frontrunner as Frank Williams guides his eponymous team through tragedy, unreliability, financial strife and, ultimately, victory. There's action from throughout the 1970s and, of course, the World Championship-winning 1980 Formula One season. Alongside dramatic racing from classic circuits including Monaco, Kyalami, Spa-Francorchamps, Brands Hatch, Montjuich and many more, we chart the story of the early years of struggle, when the team only had enough cash to survive race-to-race and with a seemingly constantly changing line-up of 'pay drivers'. The turn in fortune came in 1977, with the formation of the team we recognize today, and technical genius Patrick Head at it's heart. The film recalls the emotionally-charged first victory in 1979, and the highlights of 1980, including the stunning drive by Alan Jones at Paul Ricard and the title-winning one-two at the Canadian Grand Prix ? delivering the success Frank Williams had battled for a decade to achieve. Throughout there are period contributions from Williams, plus, as the championship fight reaches it's climax in 1980, we listen in on the team in the pits at Zandvoort and Imola. It is a fascinating insight into the workings of the early Williams team, and reveals the hands-on dedication of Frank Williams which drove the team to staggering success, making him a Grand Prix Hero.
