The Williams F1 team revealed their reconnection with Japanese manufacturer Honda at the upcoming Goodwood Festival of Speed, set to take place from July 10 to July 13, where various iconic cars from motorsport history will be on display. Among these is the Williams FW11, famously driven by F1 champion Nigel Mansell in the 1986 season.

Williams team principal James Vowles expressed his gratitude for the opportunity to honor the team’s rich history at Goodwood and commemorate the legacy and innovation that have shaped their racing endeavors.
