(Reuters) - Williams' deputy team principal Claire Williams has said she will remain in charge at the former Formula One champions for the time being after the team was sold to new owners last week.

"For the moment it’s business as usual, nothing changes in the here and now and we’re looking forward to going racing this weekend," the daughter of 78-year-old team co-founder Frank, who still holds the title of team principal, told reporters via video conference at the Belgian Grand Prix on Friday.
