To coincide with the general cinema release of the acclaimed new film on the 4th August 2017, "Williams". Echo Point Books is republishing the autobiography of Virginia Williams.
The film, which recounts the story of the family behind the legendary F1 racing team and the accident which radically changed their lives, is based on "A Different kind of life" by Virginia Williams with Pamela Cockerill.
