Williams F1 boss James Vowles welcomes second child

Williams Formula 1 team principal James Vowles and his wife Rachel Rolph — a leading surgeon — have just welcomed their second child.

“Welcome to the world little one! Rachel and baby are healthy and happy,” Vowles posted on social media.

The couple already has a first daughter named Elodie, now 19 months old. Rachel Rolph is known as one of the UK’s top surgeons — specializing in breast cancer diagnosis and surgery.

The birth nearly coincided with the British Grand Prix weekend, but Vowles had contingency plans in place — including standby helicopters to leave the Silverstone circuit if needed.

On the competition side, Williams currently holds fifth place in the constructors’ standings with 59 points — ahead of Sauber who collected 41 points after the Silverstone race.
