“Lack of funds is a factor in the critical evaluation, but Kubica’s situation in Williams is even worse because of all adversities must be added that he has George Russell as a team partner. The young British champion F2 is a great talent and beat Kubica 8-0 in the qualifying sessions so far, but he is also favored because he is a Mercedes driver. The guess, which is something more than a guess, is that George may have a factory engine, and therefore similar to those used by Lewis Hamilton and Valtteri Bottas, while Kubica has a client unit reserved for Racing Point drivers. To dispel doubts, just look at the speed measurements since Williams got the 2nd version of Mercedes engines. In Canada, Russell achieved 331.1 km / h in the race, while Kubica’s speed did not exceed 326.6 km / h. In France, the difference was even greater with George obtaining 334.6 km / ha Robert, who had 315.9 km / h. The numbers are clear, the difference is obvious. But how much depends on the difficulty in driving Kubica, how much on Russell’s ability, and how much on the technical differences in the car? ” Asks Franco Nugnes in motorsport.com.
