Stroll Sr: Williams form a 'wake-up call'

Lawrence Stroll believes that Williams can turn their poor season around. The Grove-based outfit had one of their most disappointing weekends to date in Spain and with Monaco up next, their woes could even get worse.

Williams has struggled since the beginning of the season and apart from a Baku result that was down to their faults being masked by the circuit, they have a lot of work to do to recover their season.

"We're not there yet," Stroll Sr told Motorsport.com in Spain.

"I believe in Williams, I believe in the team. Clearly they got it wrong so far.

"I do believe this is a rude awakening, and hopefully it will bring the best out of the people, and they'll fix it. I'm sure not as quick as we'd like, and not as quick as they'd like either.

"But we're not going anywhere else.

"Obviously the car clearly isn't where we hoped and wanted to be, it's quite a way off. We struggled when we came here for testing, and we're still struggling. So it's pretty apparent to the eye what's wrong with the car.

"I gather everyone is trying their best, there's a great sense of urgency in the team. It's not that they don't recognise the problem, everybody does.

"A blind person could see the problem. I know they're working hard to fix it."
