Today, PlanetF1 remembers Roger Williamson, who was born on this day in 1948.
A 2x British F3 champion, Williamson was killed at the 1973 Dutch Grand Prix.
In the aftermath, #F1 mandated fireproof clothing for trackside marshals, while drivers vowed to aid at crash sites.

There was a short story written about James Bond meeting Stirling Moss (but it was never published), and a friend of mine has been listening to an audiobook of it that he found, which led me to get this great message.

I just finished reading this book. I nearly cried at work reading over the ending, but it is a must-read to learn more about what a lovely man Piers Courage was ❤️

"Sally, Piers and myself came into a restaurant," says Coombs. "There was a big fish tank on the right. And Jo Schlesser was in the tank going 'Glug, glug' like a fish. Jo came out of the tank, took his trousers off and stood there with nothing on!"

Remembering David Purley, born #OnThisDay 80 years ago. A quick & above all brave man, he started 7 #F1 GPs, his last Dijon ’77 in a Lec CRP1 (pic). He won the George Medal for trying vainly to save his friend Roger Williamson, whose car was on fire, at Zandvoort in ’73.

I was able to pay my respects to Mike today, after all :) A lovely wreath was left by Nigel Webb, owner of the Mike Hawthorn Museum, who kindly showed me around it while researching my dissertation. I also made sure to see Mike's dad's grave as well who rests next to Mike ❤️

In the 70s, my dad and uncle went to a fair with a few F1 relayed things. My uncle got Graham Hill's autograph, which he kindly gave me a few months ago. My dad instead got to sit in a Lotus. Today, sorting through his belongings he found one thing he got from the fair: this John Player notebook!

I was on a video call with a friend showing off my new Graham Hill book the other day, and when I got to this page, it went a bit like this;
"Oh, look, the dog house charity event that always looked fun."
*zooms in*
"Is that Graham taking off his trousers again??"
