Williams deputy team principal Claire Williams has confirmed her side will not be on track until "Wednesday at the earliest"!

"It is looking more likely than not that we will now not be in a position to run on track until Wednesday at the earliest," Williams confirmed in a statement. 

"This is obviously extremely disappointing, but it is unfortunately the situation we are in. We will be getting the FW42 on track as soon as we are able (to)."

Williams' latest setback won't add to the fan's confidence for the upcoming season. The British side suffered arguably its worst season in Formula 1 in 2018 - finishing rock-bottom of the constructors' championship.

They have huge ambition; they took a gamble on George Russell, who has joined the side and perhaps an even bigger risk on the returning Robert Kubica.
