Williams’ last Formula 1 Grand Prix podium was George Russell’s 2nd place at the 2021 Belgian Grand Prix at Spa-Francorchamps.

Quick Scoop: When was Williams’ last podium?

  • The most recent Grand Prix podium for Williams came at the rain-hit 2021 Belgian GP, where George Russell was classified P2 after the race ran only behind the safety car due to extreme weather.
  • This result ended a long drought since Lance Stroll’s “normal” podium (on-track racing conditions) at the 2017 Azerbaijan GP.
  • In later seasons, Williams returned to the podium again in 2025 (including in Baku and Qatar), but if you’re asking in the classic fan-forum sense “when was Williams’ last podium?” referring to their dry spell up to the early‑mid 2020s, the answer people usually mean is Spa 2021 with Russell’s P2.

Tiny timeline for context

  • 2017: Lance Stroll takes P3 at Azerbaijan – last “conventional” podium before the long slump.
  • 2021: George Russell takes P2 at the washed‑out Belgian GP (Spa) – the famous “Spa 2021” podium.
  • 2025: Williams finally climbs back onto the box again, including a big result in Baku and later Qatar, ending the three‑plus‑year wait since Spa.

So, if you’re arguing in a forum thread and someone asks “when was Williams’ last podium?”, saying “Spa 2021 with George Russell, P2” will keep you on solid ground for that pre‑2025 drought discussion.
