Not a quitter: Happy Birthday Frank Williams!

Frank Williams and Patrick Head in 1978

Famously,  Williams  was once so broke his company phone was cut off.   Did he complain,  demand help from other teams or threaten to leave the sports?  No, he ran the race team from a pay phone.

Epic or clown show? the 1970 Spanish Grand Prix.

This may be one of the most epic F1 shots ever but no doubt the race was an epic clown show

Next time you feel like complaining about Formula One's odd rule and regulatory decisions, consider the 1970 Spanish Grand Prix and you'll go light a candle to Saint Bernie Ecclestone.

No qualifying required for "celebrity" drivers and teams, a scuffle with police on the grid, the race not stopped despite a huge active fire and fire fighting foam spread across the racing circuit (actually, Bernie might some ideas there...), only five out of sixteen cars cross the finish line.
Remember it before you pine for the good ol'days.

You remember Toto, don't you?

When I heard Toto Wolff bought into Frank Williams and Patrick Head's team I thought, where have I heard that name before....

Oh yeah, remember THIS VIDEO?
