In March 2007, Williams returned to Iraq and reported from throughout the country for several days. In May 2006, Williams joined Bono, traveling to three countries in Africa — Nigeria, Mali and Ghana — to report on the major issues facing the continent, including HIV/AIDS, poverty, disease and crushing debt.

For the 1978 season, Patrick Head designed his first Williams: the FW06. Williams signed Australian Alan Jones, who had won the Austrian Grand Prix the previous season for a deflated Shadow team following the death of their lead driver, Tom Pryce. Jones’s first race for the team was the Argentine Grand Prix where he qualified the lone Williams in 14th position, but retired after 36 laps with a fuel system failure. The team scored its first championship points two rounds later at the South African Grand Prix when Jones finished fourth. Williams managed their first podium position at the US Grand Prix, where the Australian came second, some 20 seconds behind the Ferrari of future Williams driver Carlos Reutemann.[3] Williams ended the season in tenth place in the constructors’ championship, with a respectable 16 points, while Alan Jones finished 12th in the drivers' championship.
