Editing Williams Racing (section)

====1997 season====
For what would be the final season of Williams-Renault and a car designed with Newey's input, [[Frank Williams (Formula One)|Frank Williams]] brought in German [[Heinz-Harald Frentzen]], who had created a good impression on Williams during his first few seasons in Formula One. Frentzen proved to be a disappointment though, and won only one race in two years with Williams, the [[1997 San Marino Grand Prix]]. [[Jacques Villeneuve]] won seven races during 1997, compared to five wins by his main rival, [[Michael Schumacher]] of a resurgent Ferrari. Williams also achieved the 100-race-win milestone at the [[1997 British Grand Prix|British Grand Prix]]. Coming to the final round of the season at [[1997 European Grand Prix|Jerez]], Schumacher led Villeneuve by 1 point; however, on lap 48, Schumacher and Villeneuve collided. Schumacher was disqualified from second place in the championship as the accident was deemed by the FIA as "avoidable". Williams won the Constructors' title for the second time in a row, scoring 123 points. Jacques Villeneuve won the Drivers' Championship by three points to Michael Schumacher, who kept his points total despite being removed from second place; thus, runner-up went to Frentzen with 42 points.<ref>{{cite web|last=Saward|first=Joe|title=Review of the year 1997|url=http://www.grandprix.com/ft/ft00278.html|publisher=GrandPrix.com|date=1 November 1997|access-date=9 June 2012|archive-date=30 January 2013|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130130200853/http://www.grandprix.com/ft/ft00278.html|url-status=dead}}</ref>
