MONZA, Italy (AP) β Williams has confirmed that Felipe Massa and Valtteri Bottas will pair for a third consecutive season as the team’s Formula One drivers.
Massa and Bottas currently sit fifth and sixth, respectively, in the drivers’ standings.
Massa, a 34-year-old from Brazil, joined Williams from Ferrari in 2014 and has had one pole and four podiums with the team.
Bottas, a 26-year-old from Finland, had seven podiums over the last two seasons after coming through the team’s development program.
Team principal Frank Williams says, “Stability is key for any team to thrive in Formula One, so to be able to enter a third season with one of the strongest driver lineups on the grid puts Williams in a fantastic position to continue its momentum towards the front of the grid in 2016.”
