Having dominated much of the 1990s, the Williams team naturally plays a big part in our Bring Back V10s podcast series covering Formula 1 from 1989 to 2005.

But it’s an episode about a season when the team wasn’t in title contention that first leapt into our minds [when the death of Frank Williams was announced.](https://www.the-race.com/formula-1/frank-williams-passes-away-aged-79/)

His son Jonathan joined us last year to share the inside story of Williams’ explosive 2001, as Juan Pablo Montoya – the kind of hard charger Frank absolutely relished – made his mark on F1 as a rookie.

Jonathan’s anecdotes about his father and Patrick Head’s handling of that season (and others) are a glorious reminder of why their era was so loved by generations of fans.
