Formula 1's last active original team owner from a bygone era, Sir Frank Williams who passed away in 2021, would have celebrated his 82nd birthday on this day.
A fighter as well as a survivor, the massive battles - both personal and professional - Frank had to contend with in his lifetime put him at the top of the F1 paddock's most admired list.
From the days of running his affairs from a telephone box to the glory years of Williams in the 1980s and 1990s, it was a rocky road from rags to riches.
But despite the tragedies and hardship, Sir Frank - seen here in the picture above with partner Patrick Head - never lost his heart for racing, and for its absolute pinnacle, Formula 1.
We salute the memory of a true racer!
