It was a weekend to forget for Williams. The FW41 has been a handful for both drivers so far this season.
Sergey Sirotkin has criticised his Williams team, saying they "looked like idiots" in Bahrain. Both Sirotkin and teammate Lance Stroll struggled in the deserts of Bahrain and on Saturday they were 1.7 seconds slower than they were in 2017.
The Russian said it would be a tough weekend to take in but he did see some positives.
"A tough feeling after tough weekend," he said. "I know we looked like idiots from the outside.
"This is quite obvious to me, and probably the fact that I tried to find some positive in it will sound a bit weird, but I do see some positives.

"Partly with the learning I did as a driver, and learning we did as a team. I see some positives.
"Yes, we definitely looked bad in the results in the race, probably even worse than in qualifying.
"It is better not even to think about it. But the good point is that at least we kind of see more, start to understand the things more.
"Even if it goes worse we start to understand why is this and why is that."
Williams are currently sit rooted to the bottom of the Constructors' Championship standings and are the only team on the grid yet to score a point in 2018.
