Bizarre! Wonder if it will affect them this weekend?

My Subject title may be haisty and inaccurate as I don't know if someone shot someone or themselves or even died as a complication from gunshot wounds. I will wait for the story to develop. My apologies.

Eek. What an unusual incident. It must be awful for the guy's family circle.

I don't know how much to say compared to what's in papers, but I can say I met Bill several times. He was a Research & Development Engineer. He was a complete character and will be sorely missed. I hope he is at peace.

Death Of Renault F1 Employee Apparently A Suicide

The Renault F1 employee found dead at the team's Enstone headquarters earlier this week shot himself in the head.

It emerged on Thursday that the death of the man, now identified as 53-year-old William Millar, may have involved the use of a gun.



We can now confirm that Millar, who has worked for the now French-owned outfit since its Benetton and Toleman days, was a research and development engineer.

He was found dead just before midday on Wednesday on a footpath outside the team's UK base with a bullet to the head.

Police are not treating the death as suspicious.

"Everyone at the team is deeply shocked to lose such a valued member of staff who had been with the team for 27 years," a spokesman said.

A sad loss. Hopefully Renault do well this weekend for him.

Thats Weird, I wonder if Renault will have some sort of tribute for him on their cars? Didnt minardi do that a few years back when an employee died?
