    Actually it is not a bad idea at all. I love to see what Bottas can do in a championship winning car. Massa has got one more year in him if he can be persuaded to return. Not looking forward to his farewell cry again but he would score good points for Williams next year. Personally, l would have thought they would go with Di Resta who is good enough to put the williams in the points regularly.

    Massa was finished following his accident. There are far better options than Massa, in fact pretty much anyone on the grid would be a match or better.

    The problems I have with a return of the Jesse is listening to him moan when the going gets tough for another year. Tat and listening to F1 journalists say he was world champion for 30 seconds in 2008 which is a load of cock as he was never world champion and once you are world champion it can never be taken away from you.

    I was very glad to see him retire. His seat has been wasted in F1 for years now and anyone would be a better choice than him.

    JEV, Paul Di Reista or Gutierrez?

    In Massa I cannot believe the backward thinking in trying to tempt a driver who is/was past his best and made a very public retirement out of retirement.

    I believe the fact that their Martini sponsorship means that they require at least one driver over 25 years old. 25!!!

    Paul Di Resta would be faster than Massa as indeed would a whole host of others. A 2017 Massa-Stroll line up would see them well in the midfield I'm afraid.

    I can definitely see Button in a Martini ad.

    Would love to see DiResta back. He would be a vastly better choice than Massa any day of the week.

    I still don't understand why he lost his seat to begin with.
