William Buller (born 17 September 1992) is a British racing driver.
After successful spells in both karting and mini stocks, Buller made his circuit racing debut in the 2007 T Cars championship; the series designed for aspiring racing drivers between fourteen and seventeen years of age. Driving for Calvin Motorsport, Buller finished as series runner-up behind Daniel Brown, winning five races, including a hat-trick at Brands Hatch and finished on the podium in a further five races.
Despite being only fifteen, Buller moved up into the newly created Formula BMW Europe series for 2008, which had been formed from the merger of the British and German series. Driving for Fortec Motorsport, Buller took twelfth in the championship standings, taking the fastest lap at the final race at Monza. Buller also made a guest appearance in the Formula BMW Americas series, driving for Autotecnica at the Canadian Grand Prix-supporting rounds of the championship. He finished fourteenth and ninth in the two races, and also finished ninth in the World Final for EuroInternational.
At the conclusion of the season, Buller competed in the Winter Series of both the British and Portuguese Formula Renault series, and also the Toyota Racing Series in New Zealand. He finished fifth in both Formula Renault championships, and he finished in the top ten of the Toyota Racing Series, despite competing in only three of the six rounds.
Buller returned to Formula BMW in 2009, again staying with Fortec. A first win proved elusive, although he did take a pole position at Silverstone, and also finished third at the Nürburgring, en route to tenth in the championship. Buller made a guest appearance for EuroInternational at the final round of the Formula BMW Pacific championship in Macau. He dominated the weekend, winning from pole position with fastest lap to boot, holding off team-mate Jim Pla to win the race.
