Williams are refusing to give up on their 2018 season, despite a tough start to the campaign.

Williams has said they are refusing to 'write off' the 2018 season and have a recovery plan in place in order to achieve better results.

Their design for this season's car was meant to have a postive impact and add downforce, however it has resulted in less speed on straights.

Williams have just four points in the constructors' championship and sit bottom of the table.

Claire Williams, deputy team principal, admits the tough start but insists her team will not give up on proceedings.

When asked if she believes her side can turn around their form, she said: "That's the whole point of the recovery plan. We've never said we're going to write this season off. In no way would we ever say that at Williams.

"We're only a third of the way through this year. There are a lot of races left to go. We haven't done what we wanted to do in the first third - scoring four points is not where we want to be.

"But the guys are doing a good job, as I said. But it does require a little bit of patience. It's not easy turning things around that fast. We've got a lot of work to do, particularly on the aerodynamics side of things, and that takes time."
