Christian Horner, as Red Bull Racing team boss, knows how tough and challenging the job is. The job that Frank Williams did for decades, with highs and lows. Horner expressed his sadness on Instagram about Williams' passing at the age of 79.

A real racer

Horner wrote on the social media, next to a photo of him and Williams: "Very sad to hear the news about Sir Frank Williams. A true gentleman and real racer. Growing up I was a fan of his team and when I reached F1 he always had time for you and his enthusiasm for the sport was infectious. Our thoughts are with the Williams family at this sad time and on behalf of Red Bull Racing thank you for everything you gave to Formula One. RIP"
