F1 executive Claire Williams OBE opened iGB Live 2025’s Pulse Theatre with insights drawn from her career leading the legendary Williams Racing team. She emphasized parallels between the high-pressure worlds of Formula 1 and online gambling, especially when it comes to performance, execution, and regulatory compliance.

Inside the iGB Live 2025 Keynote: From Pit Lane to Platform

Williams recounted the team’s financial struggle in 2020, compounded by a sponsor default and COVID-related race cancellations, culminating in the difficult sale of her family’s team. She also noted how adversity shaped her leadership style and resilience.

Performance & Precision: The Shared DNA of F1 and iGaming

Comparing sectors, Williams spotlighted how both online casino and F1 industries operate under relentless optimization within tight regulatory frameworks. Even a “tenth of a second,” she said, can separate success from failure—whether in lap times or UX performance metrics.

She highlighted innovation’s role in F1, down to mechanics’ physical builds during pit stops, and credited Netflix’s Drive to Survive for revitalizing public interest. Williams also touched on the growing use of AI, calling for balance between tech and human skill.
