Williams currently a "work in progress"

Williams Racing deputy team principal Claire Williams believes that the team will have to "wait and see" as to whether they can bounce back from a dismal 2018 season.

The Grove-based team slumped to their worst-ever finish in their history, recording just seven points all season.

Although the team identified several areas in need of drastic improvement ahead of the 2019 season, an all-changed line-up of rookie George Russell and the returning Robert Kubica might not spell the immediate turnaround they are hoping for.

Speaking to RACER magazine, Williams outlined that the team would be keeping their feet firmly planted on the ground and that expectations were very much realistic heading into the new season.
