Williams refuses to blame inexperienced driver line-up for lack of performance

Williams has put its early-season struggles down to deficiencies with its car and not its driver line-up.

In Sergey Sirotkin and Lance Stroll the British team has the youngest and least experienced line-up on the grid. A disappointing start to the season has seen Williams fail to score a point while all other teams have registered at least one finish in the top ten.

When the driver line-up was announced at the start of the year it received criticism for pairing two inexperienced drivers at a struggling team, but chief technical officer Paddy Lowe insists it is not the reason for the team's lack of performance at the first three races.
