試題詳情
Frank Williams was a giant of Formula One(一級(jí)方程式),but hiding beneath all the success the British racing legend's life was touched by tragedy.
The courage,energy and determination with which he dealt with this cruel roll of fate drew admiration from his family,friends,colleagues and the wider public.With Patrick Head he created one of the greatest Formula One teams of all time.Williams captured seven drivers' titles,while the team's nine constructors' crowns places Williams second only to mighty Ferrari(法拉利).
His noted wisdom and charm,perseverant spirit served him well on his journey from being a trainee salesman earning 10 pounds a week,to the peak of the high-quality world of F1.He established Frank Williams Racing Cars in 1966,competing in F3 and F2,and F1 with a borrowed racing car from 1969.
The first all-Williams built F1 car had an inauspicious start,when with Henri Pescarolo at the wheel,it was destroyed in a crash in 1972,With funding an ever-present problem and having lost control of his company he left,with Head,to set up the team that is still racing today,in 1977.
Clay Regazzoni drove a Cosworth-powered Williams to its first F1 success,fittingly at the British Grand Prix,in 1979.Australian Alan Jones won the team's first drivers' title the following season.Williams also collected the constructors' championship that year.Keke Rosberg took the 1982 title,with five more captured in a golden period between 1987 and 1997,all after Williams' ill-fated 1986 crash to catch a flight in France that led to the car crash.
Williams had to spend the rest of his life in a wheelchair.
"But life has to go on, "he said. "I was able to continue in the business I was already in. "Not for the first time personal suffering failed to decrease Williams' single-mindedness to succeed,with Damon Hill and Jacques Villeneuve capturing the1996 and1997 world championships.He was knighted(封爵)in1999 and became Sir Frank.
Williams died on November 28,aged 79.

"There it is," answered the sailor. "On the shore."
