Personalidades de todos os quadrantes do desporto motorizado reagiram este domingo ao desaparecimento de Frank Williams, fundador da icónica equipa de Fórmula 1 britânica.
Sir Frank, que fundou a equipa em 1977 e se manteve na liderança da mesma até meados de 2020, faleceu na manhã de domingo aos 79 anos.
Sob a liderança de Williams, a formação de Grove conquistou 114 vitórias e 16 títulos mundiais, razão pela qual os tributos à sua memória rapidamente se multiplicaram.

Today, we say goodbye to the man who defined our team. Sir Frank was such a genuinely wonderful human being and I’ll always remember the laughs we shared. He was more than a boss, he was a mentor and a friend to everybody who joined the Williams Racing family and so many others. pic.twitter.com/bWpFivpkmi
