2017 rookie Lance Stroll says he is happy that Felipe Massa will be his teammate this year. Earlier, the 18-year-old Canadian was set to be paired with Valtteri Bottas at Williams, but the Finn has switched to Mercedes.
"I'm sure many fans are happy to see Felipe return," Stroll told Le Journal de Montreal newspaper. "We have been cooperating for a long time -- ever since I become a Williams development driver."
Indeed, it is believed that when Bottas was negotiating to leave Williams, Stroll's influential billionaire Lawrence intervened to ensure Massa would replace him.
"It's the perfect solution," Lance Stroll said. "He is the perfect replacement for Valtteri. But for me, his return to the team doesn't change anything -- I still have to cope with the same challenges as before." (GMM)
Hasn't he got the memo yet? He is basically Bottas' replacement, not Massa.
Massa to Stroll: Yo dawg...(you can fill in the rest of the meme)
Guess he has the support of JV. Him being a 18year old with lots of expirience and getting there on talent alone. So the kids dad decided to get Massa back?
Hope they do OK, always liked the Williams F1 team, but I am now a bit worried about them.
It's a good thing that they are bringing getting Paddy.
