George Russell is hoping that Williams' performance will have dramatically improved after the summer break. The team are struggling to get the results that they desire but Russell remains as positive as ever and hopes for a solid result. 

"The holidays have been great," Russell said. "But I have missed racing. To have the Belgian Grand Prix as our first race after the summer break is exciting, as it’s a circuit I love driving.

"After a positive weekend in Hungary, we hope to maintain that improvement. We know that the circuit characteristics do not necessarily suit our car, but we’ll have to wait and see."

Williams have only a single point so far this season and Russell is the only driver yet to score one. He will hope that this changes over the course of this weekend.
