STATEMENT ON BEHALF OF THE WILLIAMS FAMILY
It is with great sadness that on behalf of the Williams family, the team can confirm the death of Sir Frank Williams CBE, Founder and Former Team Principal of Williams Racing, at the age of 79.After being admitted into hospital on Friday, Sir Frank passed away peacefully this morning surrounded by his family.
Today we pay tribute to our much loved and inspirational figurehead. Frank will be sorely missed. We request that all friends and colleagues respect the Williams family’s wishes for privacy at this time.
For those wishing to pay tribute, we ask that donations are made in place of gifts to the Spinal Injuries Association, alternatively we would welcome flowers to be placed at the entrance of the team’s headquarters in Grove, Oxfordshire. Details of the memorial service will follow in due course.
Tributes flowing in for Frank from across the Formula 1 paddock, Formula 1 world, and other areas of motorsport.
Frank wasn't just a driver, he wasn't just a team owner, he was a legend. One of the greats, with whom without, Formula One would not be in the shape it is today.
He was a mentor to all drivers on the paddock and showed that even through the adversity of being a tetraplegic (outside of motor sport), that it wouldn't stop him attending races or running the team all the way until 2020.
Rest in Peace Sir Frank.. you will always be remembered by those who love Formula One, and the motorsport world.
