Williams said they would continue to run their own race and not worry about what the other teams are doing in Group C.
“The most important thing is to get the job done. We do not want any favours from anyone, we want to do things our way,” Williams was quoted by Safa.net.
“We learnt a hard lesson a few years ago when our destiny was in other team’s hands and obviously things didn’t go our way. So, we learnt and grew as a team, and now we want to do things.”
Tonight’s encounter will kick-off at 6pm local time (5pm local time).
