Nasr: “A return to Williams? Just speculation. I'm staying at Sauber."

La Silly season never disappoints. What will hold center stage in the summer of 2015 is certainly the renewal of Kimi Raikkonen with Ferrari which, if the red team decides to rely on another driver who is not the driver from Espoo, would substantially change the 2016 Formula 1 starting grid If indeed, even if after the Hungarian Grand Prix the pro-Raikkonen quotas, should Bottas replace his compatriot at Maranello, Williams would have to rush to look for a potential replacement for the 25-year-old.

Despite early rumors that he wanted a return of Felipe Nasr at the court of Sir. Frank, where last season he played the role of third driver, the Brazilian, who did not hide his impatience with the team's difficulties in bringing technical innovations to the track, is already been confirmed also for 2016 by Sauber paired with Marcus Ericsson.

“The voices they gave me in Williams were just speculation born from the fact that last year I acted as third driver for them – commented Nasr to his colleagues at Globo Esporte – Many said that if Bottas went to Ferrari, I would return to Williams. But the truth says that if I still want to grow and achieve results, the path to pursue is that of Sauber to continue my development work on the car. In 2016 everything will change: we would have many more innovations available and we would certainly do so a big leap forward".
