The Williams Database Winter Challenge 2025

Now in its eigth year, The Williams Database Winter Challenge is a bit of fun for the off-season. For 14 weeks between the 2024 and 2025 F1 seasons from 11th December 2024 – 26th February 2025, there will be one Williams related question for you to answer a week.

Questions will be posted here every Wednesday at 8 AM GMT (ish!) – you have 24 hours to submit your answer using the form below so no need to rush. Everyone who gives the correct answer within 24 hours of positing the question will get ten points. The person with the most points at the end of the competition will win. If more than one person has the same number of points at the end there will be a quick-fire tie-break round.

So that means to be in with a chance you have to answer as many questions as you can over the ten weeks but you don’t need to rush to answer.

What you can win

This year there is a bumper prize on offer that includes:

  • A Jim Bamber Williams mechanic figure (needs a bit of TLC!)
  • A Topps Williams Racing shiny logo card
  • Hamleys Williams small rucksack
  • Copy of Mark Webbers autobiography.

The competition is open to anyone, anywhere as I will post on to you.

This Week’s Question

I think that the contents of this tweet shows that the world of Twitter was a very different place back in 2010! I’m surprised that more people weren’t able to get this but what do I know! Well done to those that did.

Previous Week’s Questions

Here’s a reminder of the previous questions:

Week One

The answer was, as many of you said, Lance Stroll, who was, at the 2017 Australian Grand Prix, 18 years, 4 months, and 26 days old, just beating Jenson Button, whose first start was when he was 20 years, 1 month, and 23 days.
