Martini would be waiting for the pilot to come of age

Williams has not yet announced Lance Stroll due to its main sponsor

La Williams will wait a couple more weeks to confirm the youngster Lance stroll as a driver for the next F1 season (as already announced , promising ), in order to avoid possible problems with the sponsor Martini.

While the pilot market goes crazy afterwards Hulkenberg's move to Renault, Williams has not yet revealed its plans for 2017, we recall in fact that after the announcement of Massa's retirement, also Valtteri Bottas he is waiting to know his fate as his contract with the Grove team expires at the end of this season.

In any case, numerous sources have revealed that Bottas is expected to remain at Williams alongside Stroll.

As mentioned at the beginning, the announcement of the pilot winner of European F3 this year has not yet been carried out due to his age, the Canadian is in fact 17 years old and this could lead to problems for Williams' main sponsor, Martini, a brand famous for its alcoholic drinks.

Stroll will turn 18 on Saturday 29 October, the day on which the circus will be involved in the United States GP.

It is therefore probable that Williams will announce the Canadian next week or at most they could decide to confirm him the following week in Mexico, in fact we remember that after the United States GP there will be yet another back-to-back this season, with precisely the Mexican Grand Prix.
