Robert Kubica says Williams remains so far off the pace of the rest of the 2019 Formula 1 grid that it would struggle to take ad𓆉vantage of an chaotic Azerbaijan Grand Prix.

Baku was one of just two races in which Wil🗹liams managed to score points at during a tough 2018 campaign as f🦂ormer driver Lance Stroll capitalised on an unpredictable event last year to finish eighth.

Despite the race serving up a number of thrills and spills in the last two years - with Williams also recording a p🍨odium finish in 2017 - Kubica does not expect the British squad to be in a position to profit on any potential misfortune for its rivals this weekend.

“Baku showed already in the past that anything is possible but I thi🐼nk we are too far off from the pack to th🐎ink about it,” Kubica admitted.

“Last year I think we🦩 were much closer to the other꧃s than we are this year, at least looking at our first three races.

“So from one point yes everything can happen here, from the other probably from what we have seen in the first three races I would say𒁏 it would be ve🧸ry difficult, or nearly impossible.”

Asked if he is still able to have fun despite being so far off the pace, Kubica said: “Of course it would be nicer to race with more drivers and𒈔 actually to be closer to the pack and t🦩o have proper fights.

“Still I did say something after Australia similar that I will never thought about it but in t⛎he end I did enjoy🎀 it, still better and nicer to drive F1 car than watching it on the television.

“From one side would be nicer to have more performance but still you can have fun of doing things, of goꦿing through things that most of the feelings and the things what are happening now it didn’t happen for many years.

“So it’s nice to get these feelings, nice🐭 to get this special emotions and special feelings, which you will never get them staying at home.”

On top of Williams’ ongoing performance sౠtruggles, Kubica will have to learn the difficult Baku City Circuit from scratch this weekend as he prepares for his first street race since the 20𒁏10 Singapore Grand Prix.

“It’s a brand new track for me,🐭 I did a couple of laps on the simulator but unfort♓unately our track on the simulator is not representative to what is reality,” he explained.

“So will be my first approach tomorrow. I will expect a higher, let’s say, level of alert in the beginning of the session𒀰 which is normally, especially when you join for the first time a st✅reet circuit.

“And I’m looking forward becaus൲e it wil🍸l be nearly nine years my time on a street circuit after 2010 Singapore.

“It has always in the past been a special feeling to drive close to the walls, is a bit different driving, fr🀅om what I can see, from outside the Baku street circuit looks pretty ꦕsimple in many places.

“But on th♉e other hand it is quite complicated in three or four places so yeah, we will have to go through th🌠em and I think there is no need to think too much about it, just go there and discover what will happen.

“We’ll have to see how our car behaves here. Hopefully will 💜be better than it was at the beginning of the year but I think we cannot expect anything spectacular⛎.”
