George Russell says 2019 season is not a "write off"

George Russell is optimistic that the 2019 season is not a "write off" and that it is not out of the picture that Williams could compete with the other teams before the end of the season. So far this season Williams has been over a second off the pace but the young Brit is hopeful that things could change.

"It's definitely not a write-off," he said to GPtoday.net. "The fact is, we've got a huge amount of issues at the moment which we think we can resolve.

It would be nothing short of a miracle if we saw Williams competing with other teams before the end of the season but the drivers are hopeful so all we can do is hope.
