Claire Williams is expecting significant upgrades pretty soon

So far, it's been another disastrous season for those inside the Williams garage. But the worst could be over as Clarie Williams is expecting a major upgrade which she believes will significantly improve performance.

George Russell and Robert Kubica were parked at the back of the grid for the first five races of the season, but this changed in the streets of Monte Carlo.

Both drivers managed to keep Antonio Giovinazzi in their mirrors on race day with George Russell finishing ahead of Lance Stroll and Kimi Raikkonen. But the cars were the two slowest in qualifying.

Deputy team principal Williams claims she can "see some light at the end of the tunnel now".

"It may be slow but we all know that it takes time to bring performance to your car. There's definitely a lot of good work going on back at the factory that people may not necessarily be seeing yet," Williams told Autosport.

The British team are the only constructor now to score points during the 2019 Formula 1 season. There's a 13 point gap between themselves and their closest rival Alfa Romeo.
