George Russellhas denied Robert Kubica's claims about the unpredictability of their Williams cars.

Although also suggesting the pair are not enjoying identical equipment, Kubica said recently that the performance and handling of his car is wildly inconsistent in 2019.

"In Monaco, the car was very stable and I was able to have some confidence, but in Canada the feeling was gone.

"Serious differences in sensations even between sessions is our biggest problem," he said at Paul Ricard. "In Barcelona, my time on Friday morning was better than qualifying!

"It's frustrating when you suddenly lose a second a lap. It's hard to come to terms with that."

Amid speculation Kubica's days are numbered at Williams, Russell denied he is having the same sort of issues as the rookie dominates his teammate this season.

"I cannot confirm that," Russell said. "It always feels the same to me."

Williams has scheduled car upgrades for Silverstone and Hockenheim, but Russell warned: "It will not take us into Q2."

2 F1 Fan comments on “Russell denies Kubica's claims about car

    Kubica should not be driving these cars, he makes excuses all the time but the reality is that it is him that is the problem, he is disabled and can't drive at all, the sooner he is out of F1 the better!

      I would advise to do your research Tony before posting. Watch the next F1 race and focus on cockpit cameras on the same corners between Russell's and Kubica's then you will see how unstable Kubica's car really is. Street circuits like Monaco are very demanding physically meanwhile Kubica was quicker there than Russell and few other drivers. If there are any limitations then to me it's more with Williams car rather than the drivers.
