The post-Hungarian Grand Prix test kicks off tomorrow and Paddy Lowe has all but confirmed his Willaims team will run with 2019 front wing parts.

The new front wing regulations say that the 2019 wings will be 200mm wider and 25mm deeper. The upper flaps and endplates will not feature in 2019. The changes are taking place in the hope of increasing overtaking.

"I think everyone else will probably be doing similar things. We'll be doing some experiments around next year's rules," Paddy Lowe told motorsport.

"It's the last opportunity in certain areas to do that because you can't run a car to a different ruleset on Fridays."

It's a good sign that Williams are already looking deep into their 2019 car. Plenty of fans are starting to worry the British team are a sinking ship. They have, of course, bounced back before and desperately need to next season.
