triceps, and my fingers are in a bit of a mess. Mybreathing’s pretty damn good actually for that level.I’ve had one day off work from having a bit of a coldin 25 years.’

Long distance runnerWhen Sir Frank suffered his injury doctors pointed outthat, based on studies of people with similar problems,he would be lucky to live another 10 years. His abilityto carry on, refusing to let his disability affect his day-to-day work, is legendary. But what drove him on? ‘Iwas always very fit,’ he explained, ‘I did a lot of longdistance road running, all my life really, since I leftschool. I was 43 when I had the accident so after 25years of pretty serious road running and training I feltthe urge to do something that brought me back tosome level of fitness. I figured pushing helps the upperbody but standing is good for your bones, which getweaker and weaker through lack of use and it washarder to breathe so I figured it would make youstronger and I thought it was a good thing to do. I’vebeen fortunate in never having a pressure sore andhardly spending a day off work through sickness in allthat time.

Sir Frank remembers one specific occasionthat led to him investigating the possibility of using astanding chair. ‘I saw a bloke at the hospital and hespent all his time on his stomach. I thought honestlyhe’d had the most terrible car accident; his back wasruined with scars and scabs and whenever I saw him hewas on his front and I thought what sort of accidentdid he have? He must have gone off the road at veryhigh speed into railway sleepers, fence or some sort ofrigid structure to rip him apart like that. Turned outlater they were just simple old pressure sores. I’ll neverforget that. And that drove me on to getting the firststanding chair.’

When a friend gave the young Frank Williams a ride inhis Jaguar XK150 in the late 1950s he didn’t knowwhat he was starting. In 1966 his young passengerwent on to found Frank Williams Racing Cars to competein Formula Two and Formula Three then, in 1977, togetherwith one of his employees, engineer Patrick Head, heannounced the formation of Williams Grand PrixEngineering. Now known as WilliamsF1 and based inOxfordshire, the same team still competes in Formula Oneand has had many years of success, winning seven Drivers’championships and nine Constructors championships,making them the third most successful F1 team inhistory after Ferrari and McLaren.

Rollover lotteryIn March 1986 Frank was returning from the Paul RicardCircuit in France when he had a serious accident, withhis car rolling over six or seven times, leading to hissustaining a spinal cord injury and becoming a C6/7complete quadriplegic. ‘What happened was I brokemy neck in France and I was in a French hospital forabout a week,’ he explained. ‘I don’t remember any ofit really, but Professor Sid Watkins, then the Formula 1doctor, arranged for me to fly back to the LondonHospital where he was the senior neurological surgeon.I was there for a while, then I went up to StokeMandeville. From there I went home to recuperate,which is what I’d wanted to do in the first place.’Amazingly, by the end of the year Frank was back leadingthe team he loved into their most successful period.

Since the accident Frank has been confinedto a wheelchair. Now Sir Frank Williams, since receivinghis knighthood in 1999 for services to motorsport, heexplained his condition: ‘my level of movement is typi-cal of C6/7 really, which is that I can move my neckvery freely and my shoulders pretty freely and I’ve gotreasonable bicep but that’s where it stops. I’ve got no

..

run a good distance every day I felt unhappy in theevening, so obviously not being able to walk or run atall was quite a psychological setback, but after two orthree months being able to stand again was a very bigstep forward.’

And how do other people react? ‘I’ve neverasked, but I’ve supposed that I look a strange sightstanding. I’m aware that people tend to stare at you abit when you’re in a wheelchair but it’s not quite thesame thing. When you see people standing up in amobile frame it is very unusual. Wheelchairs are nottwo a penny but, to quote my friends, they’re all overthe bloody place these days! But if I was asked if I’d liketo meet someone important sitting down or standingup, I’d almost certainly say standing up, providing theyget over the first three second shock. I think people findit unusual but actually it’s absolutely normal and naturalif you think about it. In fact it’s bloody marvellous!’

Over the years Sir Frank has had six or sevenLevo standing chairs, both electric and manual. Withhis background, what does he think of them from anengineering point of view? ‘Patrick Head, my partnerand a great engineer, was a bit blunt but of course heoperates a very sophisticated side of engineering; this ispractical engineering and its mission is to be successfullycomfortable and practical. I got my first electric Levostanding chair in 1987and it still goes. I get it over-hauled and get new batteries every few years but it’sgreat. The manual chairs just fold up and I chuck themin the boot almost literally, and pull them out again anhour later. I’ve got a lighter version that I take when I’maway racing. I’ve got an electric Levo in the office and amanual one at home.

They do the job. They’re lovely.’

Life changerSo finally, how would Sir Frank sum up the benefits ofstanding? ‘The benefits are both physical and mental,’he said. ‘Physically it makes your heart work a bit harderand it stretches far more of your muscles. Mentally it’smuch better to have eye to eye contact in conversations.But it really improves one’s health, there’s no questionabout that. It materially helps to avoid pressure sores.I’m preaching a bit but I can’t put it strongly enough.There’s no question if I hadn’t stood I’d have had quite afew pressure sores, like the bloke I saw in hospital. It’sbeen a real life changer.’

Relieving the pressure‘I was at the Paddocks Hospital, a clinic connected toStoke Mandeville, and they made me do physio twice aday to get my limbs all undone – they’d sort of seizedup. It was there I saw people using standing chairs. Ithink by the time I went back for a further threemonths rehab, within six months of leaving the LondonHospital, I bought myself a Levo standing chair andbegan to try it bit by bit. No turning back. Magic. It wasvery hard work to start with. But you’ve just got to doit for five minutes at a time and if it gets all woozy, sitdown, and up you go again when you’re ready for itten minutes later.’

It was while at the Paddocks Hospital thatSir Frank first met Gerald Simonds who provided himwith the first of many subsequent wheelchairs, for bothsitting and standing. Research shows that wheelchairusers can be prone to secondary diseases, includingpressure sores, which can reduce their quality of lifesubstantially. Pressure ulcers can be prevented by usingpressure relieving cushions and by positioning the usercorrectly in the wheelchair, but the only position whichavoids pressure and has full blood circulation is whenstanding. There is also good evidence that standing ona regular basis can strengthen the bones. What benefitsdid Sir Frank notice? ‘Just that my breathing was better.I mean I can’t tell or feel but obviously if you don’t useyour bones they begin to waste away, not dramaticallybut they become more brittle I think, so if I was on mylegs for two or two and a half hours a day, I just knewit was good for me. And also being more or less verticalwas better for your posture generally,’ he continued.‘When you sit in a chair all the time you begin to developa bit of a tummy, not that your tummy muscles workanymore when you stand up, but it’s just better, psycho-logically. It’s psychologically very beneficial as well asphysically beneficial and it makes the heart work harderwhich it should do. It’s meant to do that.’

Stand up routineSir Frank has a regular routine for standing which fitsinto his busy home and business life. ‘I do slices of 25minutes, about six a day,’ he explained, ‘ two in themorning before lunch, two in the afternoon beforesupper, and I always reserve two for watching the tellyat night.’ He is also aware of the psychological benefits.‘I was always a runner,’ he explained. ‘ I mean if I didn’t
