Kubica: "I will be surprised if we can expect something massively different"

Robert Kubica has admitted he isn’t expecting hugely different results at this weekend’s Chinese Grand Prix and he doesn’t believe any positive results will come from the William’s car itself.

Williams have finished second to last and last in both the opening races in this year’s World Championship and the constructor doesn’t look like getting anywhere near the rest of the field. Following a disastrous 2018 where they scored only seven points the new partnership of Robert Kubica and George Russell have not been able to improve their fortunes.

Kubica spoke about what they expect in terms of the track in China as well as what Williams might rely on if they are to get a positive result.

“The first three tracks are very different from each other,” he said ahead of this weekend’s race.

“Australia because it’s not a permanent track, Bahrain because of the rear limitations and stress into the rear tyres.

“Here is a bit I would have to say probably more like Australia.

“But on the other hand, you have very long straight line which is more complicated on the downforce side and drag position, and temperatures.

“But I will be surprised if we can expect something massively different.

“Hopefully it will be something different but if it will be better it will only be because of the conditions and track not because of other stuff.
