HAAS F1 2017 DRIVERS DRIVERS

Meanwhile, Red Bull junior driver Pierre Gasly has pleaded with Toro Rosso to sign him for 2017, but the Frenchman has cooled speculation that he could replace Daniil Kvyat for the final nine races of this season.Ĭlosing this week's roundup is former grand prix driver Anthony Davidson, who has outlined why the 2017 regulation changes could favour some drivers more than others. Like Massa, Jolyon Palmer may find himself without a seat for next season having endured a difficult debut campaign with Renault, who are also flirting with Perez.īut despite his struggles in 2016, the British driver has explained why he is proud to represent a team of Renault's stature. His experience would be vital for the newest team on the grid, but if he is to join the American outfit, he will have to move quickly, with Haas warning they will not wait to finalise their 2017 lineup. If Massa is released by Williams, he could find a new home at Haas, who have close links to the Ferrari team he served so well between 20. Williams have openly admitted their interest in 2009 world champion Jenson Button and Force India's Sergio Perez in recent weeks, undermining Massa's position within the Grove-based outfit.Īnd the Brazilian, who is holding discussions with a number of teams about next season, has insisted he will retire from F1 at the end of 2016 if he doesn't feel valued by a team. Felipe Massa may have helped Williams finish third in the Formula One constructors' championship in 20, but there is a sense that if the team are to move to the next level, they need to sign a more fashionable driver.
