Williams runs 1 lap then back to garage

George Russell in the Paddy Lowe Williams disaster

The Williams' delayed 2019 Formula 1 car has run for the first time in pre-season testing at Barcelona but not for long as the car made one slow lapped and then returned to the garage.

The new FW42 arrived at the track in the early hours of Wednesday morning.

Williams then worked hard on finalizing preparations before rookie George Russell gave it its first run as testing resumed after lunch. So far the car has not even put in a timed lap.
