Robert Kubica believes everyone at Williams must show "transparency" if the team is to recover from its current slumber.
The Polish driver made a highly anticipated return to Formula 1 as a race driver this season but it has fallen very flat as he sits at the back of the grid challenging teammate George Russell.
While there has been a lot going on to try and solve the situation, including the apparent exit of technical director Paddy Lowe, Kubica is sure of one thing.
“I think everybody, we are the victims, everybody is in the same situation,” he told Autosport.
“No one in Williams, as an employee, is happy about the situation, no one. In the end, everybody is wishing and hoping that things will get better, but on the other hand, we are all aware that we have to work hard.
“If someone is not aware, it’s only dreaming, because only with hard work and being realistic and being transparent to each other will we be able to improve," Kubica added.
“If you are not transparent and you are not approaching the situation realistically, you will never improve.
“Or it will be purely luck, it will not be [because of] you solved the problem or you improved the situation.”

Also important will be maintaining the motivation that the problems can be fixed and Williams can return simply to being a solid midfield contender at least.
But hopes of making even a little progress are limited.
“In the end, it’s not [that] we will improve within one month,” he said. “I mean, it is impossible!
“Unless you have something, which is already in a wind tunnel, which is completely different, which you know gives you two seconds, and then you know it’s coming.
“But if you don’t have those things running now in wind tunnel, or in your head – and even if they are in your head – it will not be one month. It will be much more."
