Formula 1 | Williams clarifies: “Sirotkin is not a temporary solution”

Williams strongly believes in the talent of Sergey Sirotkin, a Russian talent who will take Felipe Massa's place within the Grove team next season. Mike O'Driscoll, executive director of the English team, underlined that the Russian's promotion is not a temporary solution, but rather a gamble that Paddy Lowe and Claire Williams aim to win. According to the Manager, in fact, Sirotkin will know how to play his cards, demonstrating that he is worth a seat within the Circus.

Here are the words of Mike O'Driscoll: “Our agreement with Sergey is on a multi-year basis, but in this area nothing can ever be taken for granted. We prefer to think about the present. In any case, we strongly trust in his talent and his desire to show off. We have no doubt about the success of this bet. We have been linked to Sirotkin for several seasons and hope to keep him close as long as possible.".
