BREAKING: Kubica set to replace Stroll!

Claire Williams reveals that Robert Kubica is set to replace Lance Stroll, if the Canadian makes his move to Force India...

Williams, who is the deputy team principal of the team, has said that Kubica has a "great chance" to take Stroll's place as they prepare for life without the Force India-bound driver.

Stroll's father, Lawrence, and his consortium have taken over the Force India team and it looks definite that his son will be there to replace Esteban Ocon, whose future is still uncertain.

"Lance is a racing driver and he wants to change teams," Williams said to Speedweek. "We do not know when, but he is likely to join Racing Point Force India after his father takes over.

"Formula One can rejoice that a man like Lawrence Stroll saves a team, we wish them both good luck. Nothing bad happens to us except that one driver leaves and another takes his place. If Lance Stroll really goes to Racing Point Force India, it is more than likely that Robert Kubica will take his place."

Williams currently sit rock bottom in the constructors' championship, and they only have five points for the whole season - with one of their drivers, Sergey Sirotkin being the only F1 driver not to have a single point to his name yet this season.
