James Vowles has started this season as team boss at the Williams team. After 13 years at Mercedes, the Briton made the switch to Williams this year. Vowles calls this switch "the proudest moment of his life".

Williams has been struggling pretty hard in Formula 1 for several years, but seems to be slowly finding its way up. 2020 was the low point, when the British team did not score a single point in F1. This year, although Williams is last in the championship, the team seems to be in the midfield in F1.

Vowles on move to Williams

Since this season, Vowles has been Williams' new team boss and he has to get the team further forward in the starting field again. The Briton was previously the head of strategy at Mercedes and is immensely proud of his move, which becomes clear when asked about the proudest moment in his life.

"I think it was here, when I joined this organisation. I think that really for me is what I have been working to for a significant portion of my life and it is the organisation I really wanted to be a part of. I think for me that definitely forms the most proud moment of my life," Vowles said in a video on Williamsf1.com.
