Jost Capito has taken on the role of Williams F1 team principal with Simon Roberts leaving the team in a streamlining of the management structure, the struggling former champions confirmed today.
Last December Capito was appointed chief executive of the team, who were dominant in the 1980s and 1990s but have not won a race since 2012, and he started work at the Grove factory in February.
Williams were taken over by U.S.-based Dorilton Capital last August and have Britain’s George Russell and Canadian Nicholas Latifi as drivers.
They have not scored a point since July 2019 and are last in the 10-team championship after six races.

In many places where bats are a delicacy, they ve been off the menu in recent months.
The link between bushmeat and the potential for the transfer of viruses has turned up the heat on this rogue trade.
