Williams Week – 11th March 2019 – The Week in Review


A round-up of interesting Williams related stories found on the web this week:

“I don’t see Robert as injured, I never have. I don’t know whether that’s because I’m used to seeing Frank [Williams, her father, the team’s founder who has been wheelchair bound since a car accident in 1986], not that there is a comparison, but I don’t see it. I take people for what they deliver, against what you’re asking them to deliver.” – Claire Williams
