Williams Racing experience

Once in a lifetime behind the scenes dive into what makes a Formula 1 team tick. Explore the different departments that help piece together a race weekend!

Delve into a formula 1 wind tunnel and watch as upgrades are tested; walk amongst the machine shop and see one of the over 20,000 parts of a 200mph machine being created; tip toe through the silence of an engineer’s office and unpick the mind of a race engineer and how they work with their driver. You can bask in the glory of Williams F1 in their expansive museum and test your driving skills on an esports simulator.  There is also the opportunity to spend time with our early years careers advisers to understand what avenues there are into F1 for you.
