Simon Roberts has been appointed as the interim team principal for Formula One team Williams after founder Frank Williams and deputy team principal Claire Williams stood down.

The Italian Grand Prix on Sunday marked the family’s 739th and concluding race in F1 following the team’s sale to US investment firm Dorilton Capital last month.

Roberts spent 17 years at McLaren before joining Williams as managing director in May.
