The news that not only Claire, but the whole Williams family will retire from their role within the team after the Italian Grand Prix, is not entirely surprising. Still, the reaction to their departure is mainly disappointment and sadness, although George Russell still sees room for a joke.
The current Williams driver will be asked at the press conference who will be his new team boss. A question that he obviously cannot answer and so he has his word ready. "I don't know if it has already been announced or not, but I am going to have a double role: driver and team manager".
Furthermore, Russell and Nicholas Latifi call it a sad day. From other areas, people react to the news with great respect and regret that it had to come this far.
