Claire Williams is celebrating her 40th birthday on this date. Having been appointed as Williams’ deputy team principal in 2013, Sir Frank Williams’ daughter has overseen the Grove-based outfit’s renaissance in the latest V6 turbo era and was awarded an Order of the British Empire (OBE) for services to Formula 1 last month.
