Claire Williams says announcement about Bottas' future likely this coming week. Formula 1 News, Live Grand Prix Updates, Videos, Drivers and Results - ESPN
Bottas confirmed at Mercedes http://www.telegraph.co.uk/formula-1/2017/01/16/mercedes-confirm-valtteri-bottas-lewis-hamiltons-new-team-mate/ Massa also announced in his Instagram account that "he's back", thanking Williams for the opportunity and confidence in him.
So as long as he obeys team orders & poses no threat to Hamilton's winning season, all is good correct?
Crapilton might be in for a surprise....valteri is good, and perhaps good enough to spoil elton's party...

Fixed it for Massa too. It's a shame, he left with some dignity despite getting trounced by Bottas 3 years in a row, but now he's coming back as flunky to a rich 18 year old. Massa's job for 2017 is to coach Stroll, help Stroll, make Stroll look good, and after he's done that, to score a few points for Williams.
Like you wouldnt take the job.....ok lol. Good for Massa. He is taken back by a team that appreciates him and he gets to drive the new spec cars. Life is just horrible for him.
Interesting observations/possibilities discussed here about Bottas' arrival at Mercedes - Mercedes - Can Valtteri Bottas fill Nico Rosberg's boots? Mika Häkkinen thinks so
Massa held his own against Bottas. I wouldn't call it "trounced" by any means. Trounced would be what Alonso did to Massa
