Williams have been such an iconic team in F1 for all of my life and achieved so much. Was so hoping the team would return to greatness one day and was pretty disappointed when the team went up for sale - and now gutted that the family will no longer be a part of F1.
It was while watching Nigel Mansell in the 80's when I was a kid that I first became a fan of the team and F1 in general. Then when he finally got the world title in 92 with the team was epic. They were such a dominant team, and now its come to this. Sad times.
I really hope the new owners retain the Williams name.

Thank you Sir Frank, I wish you and your family all the best.
