'Williams' is a natural title for all petrol-heads and armchair racers, and the unusual female perspective on this macho sport gives it a fullness missing from previous films on the subject.

This film does a nice job of trying to explain some of the rarefied mechanics of Formula One, and how Williams toiled for years to improve his cars? performance to top-level standard.
