Kubica suggests Williams woes won't end soon

Kubica suggests Williams woes won't end soon

Robert Kubica suggests there is no quick fix for the Williams team after he experienced the car during free practice 1 last week. The pole also got a drive in yesterdays testing session smashing out 123 laps. 

On the hypersoft tyres, the white car could only manage the 8th fastest time of the day. Plenty of discussion and debate has been brought up over whether or not Kubica should have been selected. But it doesn’t seem like his experience could make it a difference.  

“I did try my best, as always, and think we have quite a lot of data, so now we’ll have a busy time at home,” said Kubica after the testing session. 

“It was an interesting day from the driver’s point of view, but I think it was an even more interesting day from the aero point of view. We probably need to find the best way of fixing it.” 

“For sure there are a few things we need to sort out, but that’s not something we’re going to be able to do in 24 hours.”

Williams won the Spanish Grand Prix in 2012, but haven’t been on the podium in Spain since. This year's outing they finished outside the points. Williams has a lot of work on their hands to get back to being one of the great teams.
