Lowe: "We are not where we need to be at the moment"

Williams' Chief Technical Officer, Paddy Lowe admits that his team are not where they need to be currently.

Lowe has admitted that his side are not where they need to be at the moment and a lot of work needs to happen behind the scenes.

"We are not where we need to be at the moment," Lowe revealed.

"But a lot of work is ongoing behind the scenes to address this and we will continue fighting hard throughout the rest of the season.

"The undulating track (Red Bull Ring) is surrounded by impressive scenery.

"And the circuit itself also tends to produce some great racing.

"The track is quite short, so sessions can feel quite busy, but it is a circuit where we have seen some good results as a team. 

"We look forward to seeing Robert Kubica back behind the wheel for FP1, as we continue to push forward the development of the FW41."

Williams driver, Lance Stroll reveals his excitement about this weekend's race as well.

"This is just a great track," Stroll said.

"I love it and everything about it - the scenery, the elevation, the whole thing is just fantastic.

"It is such a beautiful place and such a beautiful circuit, and definitely one of my favourites.

"When I got there last year, it was very familiar as it was the first track we went to where I had already raced in F3, and on top of that had a couple of wins."
