Overview

Frank Williams was never meant to succeed in the cutthroat world of Formula One. Without wealth, without connections, and eventually without the use of his limbs, he built a Grand Prix empire from virtually nothing. Frank Williams: Steel Will, Wheels of Glory is the definitive, fact-based narrative of one of motorsport's most remarkable lives-a man who refused to be defeated by circumstance, who risked everything on the track, and who led his team to nine Constructors' World Championships. From the makeshift garages of the 1960s to the glittering paddocks of Monaco and Suzuka, this book charts the gritty rise of Frank Williams Racing Cars, the birth of Williams Grand Prix Engineering, and the heartbreaking losses and legendary victories that defined an era. It explores the visionary partnerships with drivers like Piers Courage, Alan Jones, Nigel Mansell, Ayrton Senna, and Jacques Villeneuve, and details how Frank's steely resolve in the face of devastating injury became a model of courage in sport and in life. Drawing only from verified history and written in a polished, flowing narrative style, Steel Will, Wheels of Glory captures the grit, genius, and humanity of a man who reshaped Formula One-not from a boardroom, but from a wheelchair beside the pit wall.
