[[Frank Williams (Formula One)|Frank Williams]] founded Williams in 1977 after his previous team, [[Frank Williams Racing Cars]], failed to achieve the success he desired. Despite the promise of a new owner, Canadian millionaire [[Walter Wolf]], and the team's rebranding as Wolf–Williams Racing in {{F1|1976}}, the cars still were not competitive. Eventually, Williams left the rechristened [[Walter Wolf Racing]] and moved to [[Didcot|Didcot, Oxfordshire]] to rebuild his team as Williams Grand Prix Engineering. Frank recruited [[Patrick Head]] to work for the team, creating the Williams–Head partnership.<ref name="Williams GP.com">{{cite web|title=Williams F1 profile|url=http://www.grandprix.com/gpe/con-willi.html|publisher=GrandPrix.com|access-date=9 June 2012}}</ref>
