Robert has more experience in this area and I think he will have more opinions on this topic, "Russell said during a conversation with reporters.

Russell does not hide, however, that he has had driving problems. – During the first two trips, the balance was not what I expected. However, we changed the settings and this solved the problem. I felt more confident in the car right away. I had to feel it and discover its limits. It is very important for the driver to trust the machine. I would describe the first morning with Williams as wonderful. There were no problems and we collected a lot of information – the British betrayed.

The new Williams player emphasized that it was very important for him to work with Robert Kubica in the same direction. – I do not know which engineer to work with. However, Williams is a very open team. It is not that anyone works exclusively for Russell or Kubica. We create unity. I am confident that together we will do something good for this team – he concluded.
