Having moved to the Williams team in 2014 Felipe Massa has seen his move produce several successful results including several podium finishes. Now half way through the 2015 season there has been speculation over who will be the drivers for the Williams team in 2016. I lot of it has been in regard to his team-mate Valtteri Bottas.

Felipe has spoken of his desire to stay at Williams for another year, regardless of who his team mate is in 2016.

When questioned as to whether he saw himself still at Williams in 2016 Felipe said: "I hope so. Nothing's changed at the moment, I don't see why I should not be there.

"I'm really enjoying working with the team. The team is really respecting me 100 per cent and I think enjoying the way I work with the team as well.

"I see that the team is growing, growing and getting stronger most of the time."

As for the speculation regarding his team-mate Felipe added that such speculation did not surprise him given Valtteri's results while at Williams.

"I think he is one of the most important names on the market," Felipe said. "He shows he is a good driver, he has the talent to drive in a top team, and he shows he can do well, whatever team he is racing for. That's why all the teams are interested to get him."

When questioned as to reports suggesting that Williams were not going to exercise their one-year option to retain Felipe added: "I don't think really this guy has the right information. I think he just put [it] in the paper.

"I believe I will drive for Williams next year."

We should let him go and get Rowland on a 3 year deal. Keep BOT or get Hulk in the other car.

Keep Massa. I need to see him win in a Williams car. Words cannot describe how that would make me feel.

Quite spectacular if that happends.
That would also boost his performance further.

I agree, it would be nice but I think we need to look to the future a little and there are some serious talents out there who aren't tied to any top team program. Ollie Rowland looks the real deal. Perhaps we should keep MAS and get him in the other car. I reckon he's as good as VES.
