The Williams F1 team and wider company group are up🧸 for sale as part of a “new strategic direction” to ꦫsecure its future after posting a £13m loss las💞t year.

Williams has suffered losses off the back of difficult seasons in 2018 and 2019 and it is also feeling the effects of the coronavirus crisis, although its latest f𝓡inancial results do not go not include impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Williams stressed her family would like to retain the Williams name in F1, despi🍰te acknowledging that an incoming buyer could decide to rebrand the team.

“It’s too early probably to hypothesise on what the team could and couldn’t be called,” Williams explained. “I think the Williams family would certainly always like to see the Williams𒆙 name in Formula 1.

“It certainly doesn’t mean that thiꦑs team won’t continue to race for many years to come. This for us is about securing the future of our team and making sure that we have a successful future to the generation of inw✃ard investment.”
