Jost Capito will leave his role as team principal and chief executive of Williams, the Formula 1 team has announced.
The German was in charge of the team for two years, in a particularly lean period for one of the sport's most famous brands. Despite their past glories, Williams have struggled to be competitive in recent times and finished the 2022 season rock bottom of the constructors' standings.
Also leaving the team is technical director Francois-Xavier Demaison, who joined the team last year. Both departures were framed by the team as resignations – with chairman of Dorilton Capital, the company which owns the team, Matthew Savage, implying that Capito has chosen to retire.
