Williams to turn 65 on Monday

[davewilson]

Sir Frank Williams has vowed to try and let his birthday pass without a commotion when he flies back to Britain from Bahrain on Monday. The eponymous boss of F1's Grove based team, who has travelled to the Persian Gulf to oversee this weekend's event, is turning 65.
"I hate all celebrations," Williams told the news agency sid. Williams' current driver Nico Rosberg, whose father Keke won the title for Williams in 1982, commented: "This man is easy to admire. He is still a really big F1 fan, but he can be difficult as well," the German racer fondly said.
"If you've just done a bad session he doesn't have to say a lot - you can see it on his face. 
After briefly working as a driver and a mechanic, Williams founded Frank Williams Racing Cars in 1966, finding success once he had teamed up with current team co-owner and technical expert Patrick Head a decade later. He was knighted by Queen Elizabeth II in 1999.

As long as he's been around,I really thought he
was older than that

The last of the long and honored line of true independents. John Cooper, Colin Chapman, Ken Tyrell.... the sport could use more of their like!
