Williams driver George Russell has backed his team to not make the same mistakes next season as they have this season. The team have scored just one point this season, making them the lowest-scoring team on the grid.
"I'm 100% sure we won't have the same mistakes next year as we've had this year," said Russell.
"I can bet my house that we will have a car from day one of the winter testing next year, and I'm sure and I'm very confident that we will be more competitive next year.
The Brit missed a lot of the winter testing in Barcelona due to building complications with the FW42.
"We're on a very good trajectory at the moment. Obviously, it's always easier to improve when you're starting off at a lower level, but the signs are good that we're on a good way."
