Williams' new recruit Sergey Sirotkin got a glimpse of his team's 2018 contender, describing his future charger as looking "cool and aggressive" .

The Grove-based outfit is currently scheduled to be the first team to present its 2018 car, with the FW41's official unveiling taking place in London on February 15.

Sirotkin, the team's 22-year-old Russian driver who will race at Williams alongside Lance Stroll, says the team will be ready.

"Although we announced our cooperation not so long ago, we started preparing at the Abu Dhabi test," he told the Russian publication Sport-Express.

"I have seen the new car in the wind tunnel and I can say that it looks cool -- much more aggressive. The simulator and other indicators confirm that a tangible step forward has been made," he added.

Williams will field the youngest line-up in its history, following a lengthy reflective period by the team which resulted in Sirotkin beating Robert Kubica to the coveted drive.

The Russian insists however that he will work to build a good relationship with the Pole who will act as Williams' official test and reserve driver in 2018.

"Robert is a very nice guy with character and charisma, which is important because we have to spend time together," he said.

"He is a talented and fast driver and completely understands the nuances of working with the car, which everyone knows.

"I will not compare him with myself, but it's good to have someone like him to help me to develop and also Lance and the whole team. Together we have a very good and quite young team."
