The 2019 Italian GP would see the ROKiT Williams Team achieve a mixed result with George Russell finishing in 14th and Robert Kubica 17th. George's race would see him achieve a result that was better than he expected while for Robert Kubica his race, despite making a good start to lead his team-mate, was far more of a struggle having to make an extra pit stop after a break lockup damaged a set of tyres. But both drivers did struggle with the lack of straight line pace from the FW42. The team is still not where all concerned would want it to be.
