The WClub has always rewarded the fans who show up week after week: the ones entering every round of Pit Wall Predictions, collecting every badge and completing every quiz.
Recently we’ve had our first supporters climb all the way to our Legend Tier, and they have been recognised in the best way we could think of. Each of the first fans to reach the top are receiving a genuine, race weekend-used wheel nut from an Atlassian Williams F1 Team car.
We reached out to our first Legends to find out how they got there, and what keeps them coming back. Their stories span five decades of our history, here's what they had to say.
And remember to keep your eyes on the WClub, because there'll be plenty more rewards for our most dedicated fans throughout the season.
Tracey
"I love each week how you can change your icon and get awarded points. I enter every competition and submit questions after a Grand Prix, and watching my points increase is amazing."
A Williams fan since 1987, Tracey joined the WClub as soon as it launched in and has been building her points ever since. Her advice to anyone on the fence: "It costs nothing, only a few clicks to register your name and email address, and you may be the next winner just like me."
Carl
"The live coverage during each race weekend is incredibly informative, and there are so many opportunities to interact with the team, get closer to the action and even win some fantastic giveaways."
Carl's Williams story began in the early 1980s, when his dad worked for a team sponsor and Keke Rosberg became his hero. His favourite car remains the 1985 FW10, the one Rosberg drove to F1's first-ever 160mph lap.
Glenn
"The Williams team feels like a family to me, always including fans in the app for games, news and so much more."
Glenn has been a Williams fan for over 39 years, since Damon Hill's title fight in 1994. His routine is a daily one: "I go on the app every day reading news, collecting points and playing the games."
Victoria
"I enjoy the videos featuring the drivers mucking about and having fun. It makes you feel like you are part of the wider Williams family."
Victoria's fandom took hold in 1994, following Damon Hill's rollercoaster years at Williams through to his title in 1996. These days, the app is a permanent fixture: "I have downloaded the app and have my notifications turned on in order to never miss the latest update from the team."
Our Summer Sale is here, with 40% off select styles from our casual collection. Whether you're keeping it low-key between race weekends or flying the flag on the daily, there's never been a better time to add to your Williams wardrobe.

Joe
"Collecting those badges and taking part in all the quizzes and games has shot me up to Legend status quickly."
A fan since watching Nigel Mansell in the mid-1980s, Joe checks in daily with his son Eddie, who's now a fan in his own right. He's also a fan of the team's more candid content: "The Vowles Verdict is also interesting and honest. It shows how much James cares and is always striving to improve the team."
Harri
"I enjoy sending a question to James Vowles at the end of a race and watching his Vowles Verdict in the following week."
Harri's fandom took off watching Pastor Maldonado hold off Fernando Alonso for a famous win in Barcelona in 2012. As a teacher, he's since taken pupils to Grove for a STEM workshop, an experience he credits with winning the team new young fans.
Ann
"I love strategy so always have participated in Pit Wall Predictions. I've even managed to get Pit Wall Perfection once!"
Ann's passion for Williams began with Nigel Mansell and the iconic Red 5, and she was among the crowd at the team's 40th anniversary celebrations at Silverstone in 2017. Her message to hesitant fans: "Do it now – you'll wonder why you didn't do it sooner."
Jamie
"I would consistently check in a couple days a week and made Friday the day to update my profile card, always collecting the badges, participating in the quizzes and entries."
Jamie's Williams fandom began by accident, stumbling on a rainy race as a kid in the early 1980s and sticking with the team ever since. He still owns the Haynes manual for Nigel Mansell's title-winning FW14B.
Michelle
"I log in on a regular basis, read various posts, watch videos, enter all your competitions, entering Pit Wall Predictions, playing Tyre or Lower and download all the Grand Prix badges, and by doing this combination alone I have reached the Legend level."
Michelle and her husband have supported Williams since the early 2000s, a bond made stronger by the team's longstanding support for the Spinal Injuries Association following her husband's spinal cord injury in 1999.
Barrie
"I am just always on it, every day, all of the time, anything pops up, and even if there are no pings and dings I still go and have a look to make sure I haven't missed anything."
Born in 1974, Barrie was hooked on Williams by the age of eight, watching Keke Rosberg's title-winning season. His advice for fans eyeing Legend status is straightforward: "Apply the time, the dedication. It is not time consuming. Invest the time and you are rewarded."

Rachel
"I make sure I collect every badge as soon as they drop! But I also love the phone wallpapers, which has the added bonus of secret points."
Rachel has been a Williams fan for as long as she can remember, drawn in by the team's iconic 1990s liveries and drivers. Tyre or Lower is a particular favourite: "I'm intrigued to know how well my guesses have done."
Ty
"Each week I change my Fan ID to freshen it up. I do love playing Tyre or Lower and also love the quizzes that come up on race weekends."
A Williams fan since watching Damon Hill and Jacques Villeneuve finish 1-2 at Melbourne in 1996, Ty attends the Australian Grand Prix every year in his team kit.
Malcolm
"I like the background, the engineers, the team, hospitality, the whole team, articles giving you a sense of what it takes for a team to operate at the highest level of sport."
Malcolm's fandom stretches back to watching Nigel Mansell and Nelson Piquet take on F1's giants as the underdog team in the mid-1980s. His advice to new fans: "Read the articles, not just the drivers' stories, the whole team. Collect the badges, interact, have some fun."
David
"You should always get involved with the team, you never know what you can learn or possibly gain."
A Williams fan for around 20 years, David checks in on the WClub daily: "I check it daily to check on any news, giveaways etc."
Ray
"By squeezing points out of every single available task, I managed to hit Legend status much faster than expected."
Ray's fandom traces back to his first Grand Prix at Silverstone in 1992, watching Nigel Mansell take a famous win before thousands of fans flooded the track. His tip for other fans chasing the top tier: "Don't forget to update your fan ID weekly, as there are plenty of easy points waiting there."

Enter the competitions, play Pit Wall Predictions and Tyre or Lower, collect the badges, and discover everything the WClub has to offer. As our Legends have shown, the rewards are there to be earned and there's plenty more still to come this season.
