Investment summary
2018 proved to be an unsatisfactory year for Williams on the track, which will have ramifications for financial performance in 2019. However, with a mixture of new title sponsor, new drivers and an experienced management team there is a clear focus on recovering competitiveness in the F1 championship. In addition, Williams Advanced Engineering (WAE) continues to grow with a healthy operating margin performance.
