F1 : Team forecasts for the 2019 season

#9. Williams

21-year old rookie George Russell will line-up alongside veteran Robert Kubica for Williams in 2019

The spotlight will surely be on Pole Robert Kubica who is making his return to the grid for the first time since 2010 having made a comeback from a life-threatening rally accident in 2011 when he almost lost his right forearm. Kubica, who has 12 podiums and 1 race win in his career will line up alongside Formula Two Champion George Russell.

The Team hasn't really gotten off to a good start having skipped a significant part of the pre-testing trials. The car has looked the slowest of the pack and the Team was forced to make design changes ensuring that their cars conform to regulations ahead of the season start in Australia. Having finished rock bottom in 2018, Williams will find the going tough this season.

Prospects: Doesn't look bright. On the basis of what we have seen so far, another last-placed finish on the cards.
