My personal thought Bella, is that Massa came back for the one year for the money from Martini/Williams and to "put an arm around" Stroll.
Williams have now taken the money option for this year in both drivers, the controlling influence from Mr Stroll's wallet.
Without him, I think they would truly struggle in todays climate, which is a real shame.

I think his main motivation for coming back was that he wanted to race. He didn’t really want to retire. He’d have stayed again I suspect.

I doubt he cared that much for a Stroll, but I would have thought that he is a decent guy and did help out.

Yes, what I meant Adam. I think he was not happy at "retiring" again. Give it a while and I think he will speak out..rightly or wrongly.

Yeah. At some point he’ll be interviewed, perhaps in a Motorsport podcast type way. Relaxed and with the time between the events he’ll be more open. I see no great harm.

I don’t thing it was a done deal that Massa was going to be replaced. However the seat was not his for the taking.

I can’t find a link to this at the moment, but I read an article awhile back that had a quote from Williams that said Massa wanted a decision prior to the Brazil race (keep me or not). Problem was that Williams was not ready to make a decision on that timeline, so Massa took himself out of the running.

Granted... Williams took a long time to figure out who was going to be in that seat. And it very well may have been if they can’t find a large paycheck, then keep Massa. So the time was spent searching for who could bring money.

You can imagine that alleged associate of VP might be encouraged to withdraw their funding of a British F1 TEAM on the eve of the F1 season.....

Probably some nervous pacing up and down at Grove.

I'm not saying that this is the case here, but if you lie down with dogs you can expect to get up with fleas.
