Russell keen to show talent with Williams in 2019

George Russell says he is keen to prove he belongs in F1 next season with Williams. The British team has struggled in 2018 and is currently last in the constructor standings having only accumulated seven points this season.

The Mercedes junior driver is eager to improve alongside the team next year, saying that the Grove-based outfit knows there is a lot of work to be done in order to restore the team to former glories.

"Formula 1 changes so fast," he said.

Russell does not yet have a teammate announced for 2019 with several names in the picture including Robert Kubica and fellow Mercedes junior driver Esteban Ocon. The Briton says he doesn't mind who joins him at the team but is keen to establish a strong relationship with whoever is selected in order to help build the team back up.
