F1: Why Williams should replace Kubica with Latifi

Robert Kubica's return to F1 has been disappointing to say the least.

Williams have nothing to lose at this point

Despite Williams being one of the most successful teams in the history of Formula 1, and producing some of the best cars ever seen, they're now the back-markers of the sport. It's a sorry sight to say the least and while there are 16 rounds still remaining, it's hard to see them scoring a point at this rate, let alone finishing anywhere but tenth in the constructor's championship.

Realistically, Williams' only chance of making tangible gains on the midfield are the regulation changes ahead of the 2021 season, after all, that's how they became one of the front-runners for 2014. However, this isn't a sure-fire way to improve their fortunes, as the major changes ahead of 2017 didn't help them, nor have the new front wings for this season. In short, Williams have some fundamental problems that only a huge slice of luck or a massive investment will solve, so why not prepare Latifi for a Formula 1 drive by giving him more time in the car. You'd expect Latifi to get some track time in Canada, and like Valtteri Bottas in 2012, this will at least get him prepared for his rookie season the upcoming year.

But what do you think Williams should do with Kubica? Should they sack him or give him more time in their car? Let us know in the comments below!
