1971 World Championship runner-up |
Robert Williams (born 13th February, 1945 in Stoke-on-Trent, England) is a British former racing driver and blues guitarist best known for finishing runner-up in the 1971 Formula One driving for March Engineering.
1971 Season
Williams could seldom stay out of the headlines in 1971: his World Championship challenge against Jackie Stewart was studded with three Grand Prix victories, but he attracted even more attention off the track. He was usually to be found smoking a pipe and accompanied by an attractive blonde lady - their relationship erupting into scandal when her husband, a respected barrister, cited Williams when filing for divorce. At Watkins Glen, with a slender lead in the World Championship, Williams suffered a fiery crash. His survival was labelled a "miracle", and he made it back for the season finale in Mexico City. However, he would not be able to start the race as he was locked in his motorhome while suffering from a bout of diarrhoea and could not make it back to his car in time to take the start. He immediately retired from racing.
