RIP Sir Frank Williams, former F1 team owner

[LVSteve]

Formula 1 lost a giant today, Sir Frank Williams at age 79. He was a public school (meaning private in the US) educated man but entirely different to the likes of the eccentric and wild James Hunt. Sir Frank was organized and thoughtful, you could see him choosing his words carefully at interviews. He had the sort of focus that the Royal Marine Commandos look for in recruits. The way he dealt with his crippling spinal injury sustained in his 40s speaks much of the man.
