Autosport Podcast: Top 10 Williams F1 drivers ranked
Williams remains one of Formula 1’s great teams, having racked up seven drivers’ titles and nine constructors’ crowns. But how do its drivers compare over the years?
Williams has been competing at car racing's pinnacle for more than four decades and 16 drivers have won world championship races with the team, which makes selecting the top 10 Williams F1 drivers a challenge.
For this list we’ve taken into account the amount of success the drivers scored with Williams, the impact they had on the team and the circumstances of their time there. It doesn’t count their achievements at other teams.
Autosport chief editor Kevin Turner loves a list and in Part 3 of our new podcast series we're ranking another top 10 drivers with host and Autosport Grand Prix editor Alex Kalinauckas. You can also read the full top 10 list here.
This time we’re also doing it with the help of someone who has unique insight into the cars these drivers piloted, because we’re joined by Williams Heritage Driver Karun Chandhok.
You can listen to the podcast using the player below, or via all good audio platforms including Spotify, Apple Podcasts and Google Podcasts.
