I have a lot of time for Claire Williams.

Me too.

I think she is the female role model for the sport - not Susie Wolff

Because she doesn't try and actually drive a race car?

"One man's meat is another mans poison" and all that. Whilst I've only ever seen her interviewed at race meetings I find her "Corporate" style bloody annoying.

That's not to say I don't respect her for the job she's doing just that she always seems so up tight. Being a woman in a mans world is probably why.

Frank was/is not exactly laugh a minute.

I was driving in the supercar class at the 2003 Goodwood Festival of Speed and so was Fillipe Massa in a Maserati. Think he was a test driver for Ferrari F1 back then. Can attested that he is tiny and at the time (2003) he looked like a frail 12 year old.

You say that, but Dave Brodie tells it differently...

I went to one of the Richard Hinton film shows, that he runs in Albury every 3 months or so, last weekend and Dave Brodie was the guest speaker. For example, showing Ronnie Peterson the fastest way out of Mallory Park in a 3.1 Capri (including 130mph down the central reservation of the M1) with Frank as passenger tearing a hole in the newspaper so he could peer through it but Ronnie following in his Lotus Elan would think he was reading the newspaper and that they always drove like this.

Plus some stories that he couldn't have shared if Claire was there.

Apparently he has a book coming out and there's this documentary being done https://vimeo.com/124613607

Ms Williams

She's also significantly better looking in real life than on telly and she's hardly a munter there! My soft spot for her has gotten a little less soft I think!

Sorry, for a moment there, I thought you said she was good looking. In a jolly hockey sticks, 1950's way, perhaps if that's your thing. But she doesn't float my boat at all. Not even if I squint.

Oh sorry I thought this was 2016, my time travel device must have messed up and dropped me off in the 1960s.
