5 Things we learned from F1 Testing Week 2

#2 Williams Better, but Still in Trouble

Kubica and Russell racked up a good number of laps.

After missing the first two and a half days of testing last week, Williams ran throughout the second weekend with nowhere near as much disruption. After setting a frighteningly slow time during their first day of running, the British outfit have appeared to be closer to the pace during the rest of testing, consistently clocking up decent tallies of laps. Robert Kubica got the highest total on Wednesday, 130, which is almost the distance of 2 Grands Prix around the Spanish circuit, a great tally by any standards.

There are still problems for the team from Grove, though, Kubica himself even admitted that Williams are at least a day behind the competitors and eliminating that deficit won't be easy. What's worse, though, is the lack of pace in the car. The FW42 doesn't look quick, perhaps long runs will be better, but given what happened in 2018, and their 1-lap pace so far, it looks as though the white and blue cars will be running around the back once again.
