(Web Desk) - Williams have begun their 2020 season with a recognition of the long haul they face before the team can return to competitiveness.

Williams finished adrift of the field in 2019, their worst ever season, with a car nearly 1.5 seconds slower than the next slowest on the grid.

Deputy team boss Claire Williams said 2020 "is about making progress" and the "fighting spirit" is still there.

On Monday, the team unveiled the car, the FW43, before pre-season testing.

Williams said the team hoped to begin the path back to competitiveness after working hard last year to understand why the previous car was so slow.

"This year marks a fresh start for the team. We have spent time addressing our areas of weakness and have ensured that we have the right people, structures, procedures and resource in place to deliver competitive race cars," said Williams.
