Williams is suing a garage owner for a £1 million historic Formula One car it loaned him.
Williams is suing a garage owner in the High Court for £1 million over a historic Formula One car that disappeared after being loaned to his company. The FW23, valued at £750,000, was driven by World Championship competitors Ralf Schumacher and Juan Pablo Montoya in 2001, and was lent to Autotech Performance Ltd in 2015.
The garage owner claims he lost track of the car after suffering a stroke. The case raises questions about the circumstances of the car's disappearance and the terms of the original loan agreement.
