In the first of wuqian0821.com's video previews ahe🐭ad of the 2020 Formula 1 season, we consider the prospects of the 2019 basement team: Williams.

Williams had hoped to bounce back and be a "next gen" team through 2019, only to continue its decline after a difficulꦯt 2018 and plummet to new depths, scoring just a single point through the entire season.

After failing to get the new FW42 car to testing on time, instead missing the first two-and-a-half days of running, the tone was set for Williams' season. Robert Kubica and Georg𒆙e Russell were both left adrift of the midfield by huge margins throughout the year✨, only left to scrap with each other to not be at the very back of the field.

While 🍌Kubica was able to fluke a point through the madness of the German Granꦚd Prix at Hockenheim, Williams had little to smile about through a difficult campaign that saw technical chief Paddy Lowe depart as a result of its early-year troubles.

Russell's performances were the big highlight of the year for Williams, and he will now step into a t💧eam leader role at Grove as Formula 2 runner-up Nicholas Latifi joins as his new teammate for the 2020 season, marking a fourth change in line-up in as many seasons.

The target this year will be to not lose any more ground on the midfield and to try and steaꦉdy the ship, with a view to capitalising on the rule changes beckoning in 2021 to take a stride back towards being competitive on a regular basis.
