Claire Williams returns to the family business
Daughter of Sir Frank Williams is appointed brand ambassador to Williams F1 team offshoot, WAE Technologies

Claire Williams, daughter of the late Sir Frank Williams and former deputy team principal of her father’s Formula 1 team, has renewed her ties to the company – in a manner of speaking.
The 46-year-old stepped down from her Formula 1 team role in 2020 following Dorilton Capital’s buyout of Williams. Now she has accepted a position as brand ambassador for the technology offshoot WAE Technologies, formerly known as Williams Advanced Engineering. Dorilton has sold the company run by Craig Wilson to Fortescue, an Australia-based mining concern that is now investing in sustainable energy.
“What Craig and the team have achieved in a relatively short timeframe has been phenomenal, using race-bred technology to revolutionise industries across the world,” said Williams. “Sustainability has always been at the core of the business, and for me personally I am committed to maximising technology for the benefit of all to create a greener tomorrow.”
