Lore & Background
Of the drivers who won the Drivers' title with Williams (Alan Jones, Keke Rosberg, Nigel Mansell, Damon Hill, Nelson Piquet, Alain Prost, and Jacques Villeneuve), only Jones, Keke Rosberg and Villeneuve defended their title while still with the team; as Piquet moved to Lotus after winning the championship, Mansell left F1 to compete in the CART series after winning the championship, Prost retired after winning the championship, and Hill moved to Arrows after winning the championship. None of Williams's Drivers' Champions went on to win another championship after their success with Williams (although Mansell won the CART championship in his first season there).
