Brazilian driver Felipe Massa had an emotional farewell in Brazil in 2016 after he announced his retirement. Howeverhis retirement did not last long. He was called back to replace a departing Valtteri Bottas. Rookie driver Lance Stroll joined the veteran in the Williams ranks this season. With Stroll confirmed for another year, the question was, who will be alongside him? A number of names were thrown in the mix along with Massa’s. Paul Di Resta and Robert Kubica were the earliest candidates in line for the second Williams seat. Felipe Massa [http://www.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/skysports-felipe-massa-williams-f1_3831205-300x169.jpg]Felipe Farewell Take 2 THE FELIPE MASSA AND WILLIAMS PLOT THICKENS Another name that has ben thrown in the mix is current Sauber driver Pascal Wehrlein. The 24-year old German was axed from the Hinwil team for the 2018 season [http://www.essentiallysports.com/felipe-massa-new-lineup-bad-williams/]. But Mercedes may gun for Williams to sign him up in 2018. It does make sense for Mercedes to try and promote Pascal up the order since he is a Mercedes junior driver and Mercedes provides engines to Williams. Yet another surprising contender is the out of favour Russian, Daniil Kvyat [http://www.espn.in/f1/story/_/id/21260963/daniil-kvyat-emerges-contender-2018-williams-f1-seat]. Williams technical chief Paddy Lowe revealed that Kvyat has joined the list of drivers under consideration for a 2018 Formula One seat with the team. Much before this announcement, Massa himself was keen to carry on for another season. What suddenly changed the dynamic, remains a mystery. With Massa out of the frame, the contestants for “Williams Next Top Driver” is down to 4. Kubica and Di Resta have already conducted a number of test runs for the Grove team. They turned out some promising results. Di Resta last raced in 2013 before stepping in in Hungary when Massa called in sick. Kubica last raced in F1 in 2010. How will this game of musical chairs pan out? I guess we shall find out in 2018. 

Veteran driver Felipe Massa officially announced his retirement at the end of
the 2017 season. This opens up a chance for the other contenders for his seat

<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Brazilian Grand Prix 2023 - Latest News, Winners, Qualifying, Circuits</b></h2>
<span style="font-weight: 400">Interlagos. The home of the Brazilian Grand Prix. A circuit where dreams have been lived. A circuit where dreams have died. A circuit that?s seen so much history over the years that it?s become an indispensable part of the Formula 1 calendar. After officially joining the calendar in 1973, Interlagos?or the Aut?dromo Jos? Carlos Pace?has played host to the Brazilian GP every year except in 1978 and from 1981 to 1989.?</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">Over the years, it?s been the scene of the culmination of epic title fights, making it a race that everyone anticipated even more than usual. Well, that was until the Abu Dhabi GP joined the calendar in 2009. Since then?bar the three seasons of 2011, 2012, and 2013?the Brazilian GP has been the season's penultimate race. While everyone in the F1 community would love for it to return to its original calendar spot, this year will be even more different.</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">Scheduled from November 3rd to 5th, it?s Round 21 on the calendar. Instead of being the usual penultimate race of the season, it?s now the third-last race of 2023. Before 2023, the Brazilian GP usually featured a week or two after the US and Mexican GP. To accommodate a newly added Las Vegas GP, F1?s trip to Interlagos, Sao Paulo, has been preponed. Be that as it may, the circuit, in all its glory, is set to deliver like it always does.?</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">There have been some truly memorable moments in Interlagos over the years. Home hero Ayrton Senna?s first win on home soil in 1991 would be almost every Brazilian fan?s highlight. To make the feat even more remarkable, he did it while stuck in sixth gear for more than 10 laps. Oh, and who can forget the title deciders that have happened here? In 2007, Kimi Raikkonen entered the race third in the championship behind McLaren?s Lewis Hamilton and Fernando Alonso. Out of all three contenders, Raikkonen was tipped to be the least likely to win. But against all odds, proving his Iceman-ness, he won the race and, with it, the championship.</span>

<i><span style="font-weight: 400">?Is that Glock? Is that Glock going slowly??</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400"> A Martin Brindle commentary that will go down in history as something that?ll haunt Felipe Massa (until he claims the 2008 title, if he does, following his lawsuit against the FIA). The then-Ferrari driver crossed the line in P1, and for half a minute or so, he and his team were ecstatic. Hamilton needed anything better than a P6 to seal the title. Had it not been for Timo Glock struggling through the damo condition in slick tires, the title would?ve been Massa?s. But it was Hamilton?s day as he overtook Glock to take P5 and, ultimately, his maiden championship.</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">As thrilling as the title fights have been, so have the non-title fights. The 2021 Brazilian GP saw Hamilton make a comeback after receiving 25 places worth of penalties. He started the Sprint in P20 and finished fifth. He started the race in P10 and finished P1. It?s now the most special race of the honourary Brazilian?s career. A year later, his teammate George Russell got his first win at the circuit.</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">Last time out, in the ever-changing weather conditions in Sao Paulo, Haas? Kevin Magnussen secured a shock pole position, setting a time of 1:11.674. Neither the Sprint nor the race worked in the Dane?s favor, though. Even so, it was a monumental achievement in a Haas car. Interlagos always springs up a surprise, and F1 2023 is ready for the exciting action that awaits in Brazil!</span>
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Most Winners</b></h2>
<span style="font-weight: 400">Back in the day, the FIA required a new venue to host a demonstration race as a quality check. The 1972 Brazilian GP was Interlagos? inaugural race (although it wasn?t counted as part of the championship). In its official introduction in 1973, Brazilian Emerson Fittipaldi treated the crowd to a home victory. It then spent six glorious years on the calendar until 1981, when Jacarepagu?, Rio de Janeiro, became the race's home (as it did in 1978 as well). But F1 returned to Sao Paulo in 1990; since then, it hasn?t left the calendar.</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">Frenchman Alain Prost is the most successful driver to race in the Brazilian GP. Having amassed a staggering six Brazilian GP wins, he should ideally be the F1 king of Brazil. But considering five of his wins came at Jacarepagu? and the fact that Interlagos is the real home of the race, someone else pips him to the title.</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">The most successful driver in Interlagos is Michael Schumacher, who?s won at the circuit four times!</span>

<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Brazilian Grand Prix Circuit Details?</b></h2>
<span style="font-weight: 400">What makes Aut?dromo Jos? Carlos Pace one of the greatest circuits of all time? It?s one of the last remaining old-school tracks on the calendar. Made in the 1930s, Interlagos was constructed in undulating terrain on the outskirts of Sao Paulo. Situated between two reservoirs, that?s where the name comes from. As for its official name, Jos? Carlos Pace was a Brazilian driver who won his only race at Interlagos. The circuit was named in his honor after tragically passing away in 1977 in a plane crash.</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">Coming back to why every driver and fan alike loves the circuit. Over the years, the circuit has had to evolve for safety reasons. Even so, it hasn?t lost its charm and character that everyone fell in love with before the big renovations. Initially, the track was almost 8 kilometers long, but after the safety reforms, when F1 shifted to Jacarepagu? for nine seasons, it was shortened to 4.3km (2.6 miles). Since 1990, when F1 returned to Interlagos, it?s stayed the same.</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">Before 1990, Interlagos was a clockwise track, a layout that drivers are more accustomed to. But after 1990, it became a counter-clockwise circuit, making the short circuit?where time to rest is almost nonexistent?even more challenging. As much as it is a challenge, it?s also a pleasure to drive. The pit straight has an upward incline that transitions into the iconic Senna S (Turns 1 and 2). The longest straight of the track (the Reta Oposta) is between Turns 3 and 4 (Descida do Lago). As a driver closes in to Turn 6, that?s where the trickiest part of the circuit starts. A series of slow-speed corners, Turns 6 and 7 lead into one the most difficult corners on the track?Turn 8 (Little Orange). The slow-speed section continues till the left-handed Turn 11, after which a short straight leads into a hard left. Turn 12 to 15 is usually done at full throttle, following which the trip through the dramatic elevation changes of Interlagos starts again.</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">To add to the dramatics of the track, the weather conditions are quite unpredictable. Through the years, the changing conditions have made for exciting sessions like qualifying in 2022, which saw Magnussen take pole. Back at the Singapore GP, when Verstappen qualified in P11, he said Marina Bay isn?t a track where overtaking is possible. He did say Spa-Francorchamps is a circuit where he could win from the back of the grid. Well, Interlagos is like that, too! Lewis Hamilton demonstrated how fighting through the field in 2021 is possible.</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">The best place to watch the race? The Grandstand at the banked Turn 15 is a lovely place to watch cars go through the twisty second sector and accelerate through the final corners. The Grandstand at Turn 1 overlooks the Senna S?the best overtaking spot on the track. This year, just like 2021 and 2022, is also a Sprint weekend. The new format changes mean twice the qualifying sessions and twice the racing action. So, wherever you decide to tune in from or experience the electric atmosphere live, the Brazilian GP will be one to watch!</span>
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Where to watch?</b></h2>
<span style="font-weight: 400">In the US, all F1 races this season will be broadcast live on TV by ESPNews, ESPN2, ESPN+, or ABC.?</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">If you?re tuning in from The Netherlands, hoping for a repeat of 2019 for Max Verstappen, Viaplay and Viaplay Xtra will stream all the live action. If you?re not one of the spectators and Intergalos and want to catch all the live action from the comfort of your home, Bandeirantes and Bandsports will keep you company.

France can catch all the action on Canal+, Austria on Servus TV, Africa on SuperSport, and Canada on RDS.</span>

But F1 returned to Sao Paulo in 1990; since then, it hasn?t left the calendar. Frenchman Alain Prost is the most successful driver to race in the Brazilian GP. Having amassed a staggering six Brazilian GP wins, he should ideally be the F1 king of Brazil. But considering five of his wins came at Jacarepagu? and the fact that Interlagos is the real home of the race, someone else pips him to the title. The most successful driver in Interlagos is Michael Schumacher, who?s won at the circuit four times!  Wins Driver?

With 12 victories at the Brazilian GP, McLaren is the most successful constructor in the South American nation. Adding to Prost?s singular win for Ferrari, Niki Lauda (1), Carlos Reuttemann (2), Nigel Mansell (1), Michael Schumacher (2), Felipe Massa (2), Kimi Raikkonen (1), and Sebastian Vettel (1) make Ferrari the second most successful in Brazil.

What makes Aut?dromo Jos? Carlos Pace one of the greatest circuits of all time? It?s one of the last remaining old-school tracks on the calendar. Made in the 1930s, Interlagos was constructed in undulating terrain on the outskirts of Sao Paulo. Situated between two reservoirs, that?s where the name comes from. As for its official name, Jos? Carlos Pace was a Brazilian driver who won his only race at Interlagos. The circuit was named in his honor after tragically passing away in 1977 in a plane crash. Coming back to why every driver and fan alike loves the circuit. Over the years, the circuit has had to evolve for safety reasons. Even so, it hasn?t lost its charm and character that everyone fell in love with before the big renovations. Initially, the track was almost 8 kilometers long, but after the safety reforms, when F1 shifted to Jacarepagu? for nine seasons, it was shortened to 4.3km (2.6 miles). Since 1990, when F1 returned to Interlagos, it?s stayed the same. Before 1990, Interlagos was a clockwise track, a layout that drivers are more accustomed to. But after 1990, it became a counter-clockwise circuit, making the short circuit?where time to rest is almost nonexistent?even more challenging. As much as it is a challenge, it?s also a pleasure to drive. The pit straight has an upward incline that transitions into the iconic Senna S (Turns 1 and 2). The longest straight of the track (the Reta Oposta) is between Turns 3 and 4 (Descida do Lago). As a driver closes in to Turn 6, that?s where the trickiest part of the circuit starts. A series of slow-speed corners, Turns 6 and 7 lead into one the most difficult corners on the track?Turn 8 (Little Orange). The slow-speed section continues till the left-handed Turn 11, after which a short straight leads into a hard left. Turn 12 to 15 is usually done at full throttle, following which the trip through the dramatic elevation changes of Interlagos starts again. To add to the dramatics of the track, the weather conditions are quite unpredictable. Through the years, the changing conditions have made for exciting sessions like qualifying in 2022, which saw Magnussen take pole. Back at the Singapore GP, when Verstappen qualified in P11, he said Marina Bay isn?t a track where overtaking is possible. He did say Spa-Francorchamps is a circuit where he could win from the back of the grid. Well, Interlagos is like that, too! Lewis Hamilton demonstrated how fighting through the field in 2021 is possible. Formula One F1 &#8211; Brazilian Grand Prix &#8211; Jose Carlos Pace Circuit, Sao Paulo, Brazil &#8211; November 14, 2021 Mercedes&#8217; Lewis Hamilton celebrates winning the race REUTERS/Ricardo Moraes The best place to watch the race? The Grandstand at the banked Turn 15 is a lovely place to watch cars go through the twisty second sector and accelerate through the final corners. The Grandstand at Turn 1 overlooks the Senna S?the best overtaking spot on the track. This year, just like 2021 and 2022, is also a Sprint weekend. The new format changes mean twice the qualifying sessions and twice the racing action. So, wherever you decide to tune in from or experience the electric atmosphere live, the Brazilian GP will be one to watch! Where to watch? In the US, all F1 races this season will be broadcast live on TV by ESPNews, ESPN2, ESPN+, or ABC.? If you?re tuning in from The Netherlands, hoping for a repeat of 2019 for Max Verstappen, Viaplay and Viaplay Xtra will stream all the live action. If you?re not one of the spectators and Intergalos and want to catch all the live action from the comfort of your home, Bandeirantes and Bandsports will keep you company. In the United Kingdom, Sky Sports and Channel 4 will keep you updated. Sky Sports? Italian and German divisions, Sky Italia and Sky Deutschland, are in charge in Italy and Germany. France can catch all the action on Canal+, Austria on Servus TV, Africa on SuperSport, and Canada on RDS. In India (and everywhere else), F1TV will provide all the live-action, analysis, and Tech Talks.? Brazilian Grand Prix Tickets Tickets for the Brazilian GP are available on the Official Formula 1 website as well as on the F1 Experiences website. You can choose from a range of tickets, varying from Grounds Passes and Reserved Seats to Premium Hospitality.?

<h2>Williams: 2021 Latest News, Results, Drivers and Car Updates</h2>
Williams F1 is another team that has a lot of history in Formula One. The origins of the team can be traced back to 1977. What?s different about this team is that it has always been a family-run team.

The founder of the team is Sir Frank Williams, who functioned in the capacity of the Team Principal for quite some time. His daughter, Claire Williams, succeeded him as the Deputy Team Principal before stepping down from her role in 2020.

Following a dismal campaign in 2019 and a major financial crunch in 2020, the team put up a majority stake of the team for sale. In August, a private American firm, Dorilton Capital, acquired the team.

Following the team's sale, Claire announced her departure from F1 along with her father. For a team that's been family owned for well over 4 decades, it truly was the end of an era.

In its long and storied history, Williams has produced 7 World Champions. They are Alan Jones, Keke Rosberg, Nelson Piquet, <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/nigel-mansell/">Nigel Mansell</a>, <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/alain-prost/">Alain Prost</a>, Damon Hill, and Jacques Villeneuve.

George Russell and Nicholas Latifi currently drive for the Grove-based. The team will be retaining both their drivers' services for the next season.
<h2><strong>On-track Achievements</strong></h2>
In their inaugural year in 1977, they did not enjoy a great start. However, in 1978, Alan Jones brought forth their first tally of points with a 4th placed finish in South Africa. He followed it up later in the season with a 2nd in the USA.

In 1979, Williams entered two cars, with Clay Regazzoni partnering Jones. Regazzoni bagged the first win in Great Britain before Jones followed that feat up with three back-to-back wins in Germany, Austria, and the Netherlands. He took another win in Canada, with Regazzoni in 3rd.

NO RESALES. NO ARCHIVES[/caption]

In 1980 and 1981, Jones clinched the World Constructors' Championship for Williams F1. They did it again in 1986 and 1987 with Nelson Piquet winning the Drivers' Championship.

From 1992 to 1994, the British outfit sealed the Constructors' championship again. They took their final Constructors' titles in 1996 and 1997.

Sadly, the team is yet to replicate its once feared win streak in Formula 1. Over two decades on, Williams is a shell of its former self. The British team is in a constant battle to score some points.

So far this season, the team has been unsuccessful.

<h2>Robert Kubica: Stats and Achievements</h2>
A year later, he moved to <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/sauber/">Sauber</a> in the capacity of a test driver, yet again. 2007 was his first full-time season, and he proved to be a decent driver.

However, he suffered a horrific crash at the Canadian Grand Prix that effectively shelved him for the United States Grand Prix.

Incidentally, it also introduced the Formula One world to <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/sebastian-vettel/">Sebastian Vettel</a>. H. His return to France saw a new and improved man. He stayed with Sauber until 2009, subsequently he moved to Renault for a year.

After his accident, he won the 2013 World Rally Championship-2. With regard to his F1 results, his maiden podium came in his third race for the BMW team.

He has one career win to his name, at the 2008 Canadian GP, barely a year after his horror crash at the same track. Kubica has also amassed 11 podiums in five years.

Mere days after completing his preseason test with Renault, Kubica was involved in a horrifying rally accident in 2011. The Pole was competing in the Ronde di Andorra rally in Italy when a tricky right-hander effectively ended his hopes of a competitive future in F1.
<h2>Robert Kubica: Canada and Rally crash</h2>
Whilst negotiating a fast turn at high speed, Robert lost control of his car and slammed into the barrier. The impact and timing of the crash resulted in a barrier impaling the car and Kubica's right arm in the process.

Kubica sustained multiple fractures to his shoulder, arms, and legs. However, the biggest injury was to his right hand, which was partially amputated.

But this wasn't Kubica's first near brush with death. At the 2007 Canadian Grand Prix, Kubica suffered a massive crash after tangling with Jarno Trulli towards the hairpin at the Gilles Villeneuve Circuit. Thankfully, he wasn't seriously injured.
