My heart melted when Sir Williams said “Yeah, one more...overtake them.”

[inglesfluente]

"So, they told me I need to drive slow."
"...you're joking."

RIP Frank Williams, a true legend

"Something that will live on in my brain for a long time to come, Lewis."

Damn does that line hit hard this morning. May this legend roam around Silverstone forever.

Rest in peace you absolute legend Sir Frank, the whole of the UK and the motorsport world tilt our hats to you. ❤️❤️❤️

There is no higher honor than hearing Sir Frank Williams tell you “overtake them”.

Claire: "Dad's got two laps to convince you to come to Williams"
Mercedes: OK only one lap then

“They told us to stop. We keep going.” A statement racers like Niki Lauda and Frank Williams could say about the way they’ve lived their lives.

I'm so happy Lewis did not go slow. For a brief moment Sir Frank Williams felt something that was taken away from him by tragedy. Rest In Peace Sir Williams.

"Should we do one more?" "Yes, one more. Overtake them!" racing is in your blood or it isn't.

When Sir Frank Williams tells you to do another lap, you must do another lap. 😎🏎💨🇬🇧

Say what you want about Lewis, he’s a gentleman, and hugely appreciative of the sport of motor racing, it’s history and it’s respected figure heads. Oh yeah, and he’s a bit of a driver

Rest in peace, legend.
My deepest condolences to the whole Williams family.

Sir Frank Williams: "Overtake them"
Other drivers: "Why do I hear boss music"

I had a big smile on the whole time. I knew....I just knew Lewis was not going to do one lap when he was advised to.

Sir Frank is an absolute legend

I love how Sir Frank Williams, who suffered such a catastrophic accident and has used a wheelchair with limited function of his upper body ever since, gets in a car with Lewis Hamilton and clearly says, "Overtake them!" You may break the body but you can't break the spirit. Godspeed Sir Frank, and thank you for the great memories.

When sir Frank said I think the car will be glad when you get out of it, then when they they both laughed after Sir frank asked if the brakes were hanging on ok, and Lewis replied "Nope". Two legends of the sport with undeniable respect for each other. RIP Sir Frank.

Watching this brings a tear to my eye as my mother was a massive F1 fan and last year i managed to save up enough money to take her to the Grand Prix at Silverstone, sadly it would be her first and last time she would ever get to see a live F1 race as shortly after she passed away.

He is not driving the car but still feels the brakes are fading... pretty impressive

[hifdzillahkohler]

“Something that will live on in my brain for a long time to come, Lewis” That’s absolutely makes me cry 😢

This feels like taking your dad for a joy ride, giving him a great experience for how far you've come. Rest In Peace Sir Frank Williams, wonderful driving Mr Hamilton.
