How did Williams Racing fare when they competed at the Indian Grand Prix?

With the passing away of Sir Frank Williams, F1 has truly lost one of its gems and founding fathers of the motorsport racing craze. He was at the helm of one of F1's successful teams and lead from the front in every aspect. The Indian Grand Prix has long been ceased due to certain administrative and technical issues that arose in the years that it existed. Williams Racing took part in all three editions of the Indian Grand Prix at a time when Sir Frank Williams was still the head of the racing organization. We take a look at how they fared in the years they visited India.
