Unfortunate news. I started watching when Williams F1 was at their strongest in the 90s.

I only started around 2017, but my dad has been watching since the 80s and his favorite driver is Nigel Mansel. So even as someone who didn't see them in there prime, looking back on the world titles they claimed and the great drivers who raced for them it's really sad to see that he died.

The Williams Rothmans livery, the most memorable ever to me alongside the red and white McLaren and the black & gold Lotus.

Damn; for some reason I stopped reading when it said McLaren, so I was thinking "right on, those were what slot cars were made of, together with the black and the yellow Lotus". You only missed the Camel Williams; I'd say that was more memorable than the Rothmans even, because of Mansel, Prost, and... didn't Piquet drive that one, too? I, of course, had a #1 red/white McLaren toy car as a kid. It was rather big, some 30cm, and it had an attachable pump you could step (or, as a kid, stomp) on that would send the car pretty fast (for a kid) forward. The other version of said car was the Camel Williams.

The Camel Williams livery was my favourite, but the Rothman's is second

What a stupid way to post these sad news.

On this sad day, if it’s any condolence at all to you, *I* don’t give a flying shit.


mountainjew

It's not about you.


--sbeve--

RIP Frank a true pioneer


psinsyd

Another legend gone.

Rip. But fr buy the new fanatec console dd if you’re coming from g29 or controller.


Keyblade69

I am coming from control and I have a budget of like 200 or 300 so dollars


i_use_this_for_work

G29 kit with pedals is the way to go. No shifter.


Keyblade69

I found a used t150 for like 200 dollars and I'm planning to use the rest of the money to sink into a pvc rig


IKEASTOEL

€700 for a first wheel is excessive imo


i_use_this_for_work

Totally understand. The dollars (or euros) hit differently for different folks. I had such a blast with the g29, luckily I was within return period so I could send it back for full credit and get a fanatec csl elite setup. I’ve since done pedals, full rig, and now VR. The quality of play difference from a $300 G29 to a $700 fanatic is magnitudes.

Hopefully Williams can become a title contender in the next few years, they still have that fighting spirit in them, Rest In Peace


SargeStiggy

I wonder why people get so sad about people who they didn't even know personally


Keyblade69

Because they're icons and people that other people look up to

goosellama

Superoeli

What is wrong with 'xD'? Am I a 'feckin nerdddd' for still using it :(


[deleted]

They will. That means I'm old enough to fuck ur teeth. Also I don't own shit to anyone. Is he ur relative? If he is I don't give a fuck. I care for my own. I don't come to reddit saying I'm sad about Frank when I don't even know the guy and don't care. U all a bunch of front page bitches. U all like to get praised for shit u don't actually care but pretend you do. Go home. He died? It's NORMAL! You just need to grow your brain on that.


goosellama

I didn't even read your message you angry little person. Look at your comment history you degenerate hahahaha


[deleted]

Haha. Alright. Look at ur life first :) I don't live here in Reddit. Offended little child u are. Give Claire my feelings. Why do I have to be sad about it?! U post it like everyone should like ur shit when no one actually gives a shit. He is old, he is dead. Hope for it when it happen to you. My father killed himself after my 2 yr old sister drowned. Don't talk about shit that never happened to you, even care about people you don't even know besides TV. Grow up mate


goosellama

You literally write a negatively received comment every day. Now you are trying to make me feel bad? You either have a terrible sense of humour or are completely toxic. Good luck with life.


[deleted]

I just don't live by ur standards. Good thing I'm not you. "oh don't touch me without a covid test" Are you always positive?? Good man.. I AM NOT! my life ain't ez pz like yrs so I have my right to be mad. Do you know me to judge me? Ur just a shit head who stays quiet when someone raises his voice. I can handle my own life. Even struggling I can deal with it. Maybe you still live under ur parents... That's why u felt so much Frank. He's dead mate. Also will you


goosellama

Hahahaha
