Williams has moved to bring in former Washington Commanders NFL vice-president Christian Matthews in a major coup.

Matthews will head the F1 team's push for popularity and marketability in North America which is one of the fastest growing global markets for the sport.

His role at Williams as the vice president of partnership development, Americas will see him look to increase the commercial revenue gained from the Western continents.

This move is part of a wider rebuild at Williams which has seen Paul Asencio also join as a chief revenue officer.
