Very sad news.
We've lost a legend.

I love this picture. Back in the glory days, together with Keke.

End of an era.

A genius in his time for what he achieved, will be sorely missed by many. RIP Sir Frank.

Thankful for his contributions, sad for his family.

GuidoK · 11-28-2021, 10:15 AM

Rest in peace.

Certainly one of the people that shaped F1 from the early 70's onward. So that's half a century!

M-technik-3 · 11-28-2021, 10:24 AM

RIP Mr Williams may your daughter carry on your legend.

3798j · 11-28-2021, 10:34 AM

Wow, this is sad. He had some incredibly good cars (and drivers). RIP.

NickyC · 11-28-2021, 10:36 AM

Wow, sad news indeed. Some of my most memorable/favorite moments of F1 were him along with BMW power/Ralf/JPM.

RIP good sir.

Great list with the FW11 being my all-time favourite!

MontyB1 · 11-28-2021, 04:17 PM

Many these days won’t know who he is when they watch F1 but he is a legend of the sport. What he and Patrick Head did at Williams in the 80s and 90s was outstanding.

They were more a force in those days than many would understand largely due to that paring of management, getting the money in snd sheer raw engineering.

RIP Sir Frank you are a legend and will be sorely missed by the sport.

Killed by Death · 11-28-2021, 05:53 PM

79 but what a great life. Imagine all he has seen and accomplished...RIP Sir!!!

yco · 11-28-2021, 10:38 PM
