The original FW07 was a ground effects car designed by Patrick Head. It made its debut part of the way through the 1979 season with drivers Alan Jones and Clay Regazzoni. Regazzoni claimed Williams first ever win in the 1979 British Grand Prix followed by three consecutive wins for Jones in Germany, Austria and Holland and a fourth win in Canada. Just missing out to Ferrari in the constructors championship.
For 1980 Carlos Ruetermann replaced Regazoni. Jones won five races Argentina, France, Britain, Canada and the USA and Ruetermann won in Mexico to give Jones the 1980 drivers championship and Williams the 1980 Constructors Champioship.
For 1981 the FW07 had evolved into the FW07C the FIA had banned sliding side skirts for ground effects and Jones a hydraulic suspension system. On the tracks Jones won two races the seasons first race the US GP West and the seasons closing race at Caesars Palace USA while Ruetermann also scored two wins in Brazil and Belgium. Williams again won the constructors championship and Ruetermann was second in the drivers championship to Nelson Piquet. The FW07C was developed into the stop gap FW07D for the opening races of 1982 pending the arrival of the FW08.
One drivers championship, Two Constructors Championships 15 wins and 300 points not a bad motor.
This car raced at Silverstone in the FIA Masters Historic Formula One race
