          6. Above all it is the need for speed.” Sir Frank Williams was a remarkable individual who went from grocery salesman to the longest-serving Team Principal Formula 1 has ever seen. Following the news of his death, at the age of 79, Lawrence Barretto looks back on Sir Frank’s extraordinary career.

          The beginning

          At a boarding school in Dumfries in the late 1940s and early 1950s, you will have found a young boy totally and utterly obsessed with motor racing.

          “I used to run around pretending I was a racing car – that sort of nonsense,” said Frank, speaking in a documentary celebrating his F1 achievements on Sky Sports F1. He attempted a racing career himself, but “was always going off the road” so swapped the cockpit for tools and became a mechanic.

          The next step for him was obvious – he wanted his own team.
