I deeply respect Frank Williams and his team for all they achieved in Formula 1 and changed the sport for the better. In my mind, Frank was once a very energetic and sporty enthusiast, and then he wasn't anymore. The book is a highly intimate and detailed story about what I'm sure is the most challenging period in Franks and Ginny's life in that period most fans probably ignore - when this changed dramatically. Book helped me appreciate Frank, his family, and the team even more and think hard and long about what we, “normal” people, take for granted but can be cruelly taken away from us in a split second.
