Retired F1 driver Felipe Massa has no regrets about retiring from Formula One. But every now and then, he cannot resist taking a few jibes at his former team Williams. The Brazilian veteran believes that they are paying the price for prioritising money in some of its decisions for the 2018 Formula 1 season. The Grove-based team has had a tough start to the season and is the only team to get on the scoreboard after three races. According to Massa, Williams’s difficulties can be pinpointed to the lack of money that the big manufacturer teams are privy to. This has possibly led to them fielding a well-backed but inexperienced pair of Lance Stroll and Sergey Sirotkin. Massa embarrassed [http://www.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/download-5-1.jpg]Felipe Massa Massa said, “It’s true that the team was suffering from the financial situation and I think they made decisions for 2018 putting money first. But this is not enough to make a competitive championship. All I can say is that I came out with my head held high. I have a good relationship with everyone at Grove and I hope that the best for the team comes out as soon as possible. But I can add that I’m happy to have made my decision last year.” Massa also admitted that he chose the right time to bail out and is currently enjoying retirement. He also expressed genuine surprise at Ferrari’s [https://www.eurosport.com/formula-1/teams/ferrari/team.shtml] early pace. Sebastian Vettel [https://www.essentiallysports.com/youth-not-excuse-verstappen-vettel/] won the first two races of the season as well as bag two pole positions from the opening three rounds. Massa said that he expected Mercedes to be far ahead of Ferrari, and that Red Bull could join the fight. “What we saw in the first races was great for the sport because we did not see just one team winning. I am happy that Ferrari has started well. In the Maranello team they have made several changes in the last two years and many thought they were backwards. [But] they have shown that they have a large group that knows how to work very well. This makes me happy because I’ve always been a Ferrari fan.” 

Former Williams driver Felipe Massa believes that in Williams' pursuit of money
and more funds, they have inherently lost their way in F1

<h2>Azerbaijan Grand Prix 2021- Winners, Qualifying, Circuits, Track</h2>
Crafted by the Tilke Company, the Baku City Circuit is the second-longest circuit registered in the list of F1 racing venues. The circuit is in the lowest-lying capital city, surrounded by water bodies. This makes the circuit extremely adventurous for racing and spectating.

The land of fire, Azerbaijan, was ready to stage the fourth F1 weekend race in their capital city this year. However, the global health situation ruined the entire F1 calendar for the 2020- season.

The hype to witness the F1 weekend in the Baku City Circuit was undoubtedly high. Fans will be anticipating the absolutely power-packed racing weekend that will soon happen in the 2021 season. The race will take place between 4 June and 6 June.

<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><strong>Lance Stroll 2021: </strong><strong>Net Worth, Salary and Endorsements</strong></h2>
Lance Stroll made his debut in 2017 for the Williams Formula 1 team. Initially, he was supposed to replace a retiring <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Felipe_Massa">Felipe Massa</a>. However, when <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/nico-rosberg/">Nico Rosberg</a> announced his shock retirement, <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/valtteri-bottas/">Valtteri Bottas</a> was drafted in. As a result, Massa had to come back out of retirement and race again.

In 2017, Massa retired from F1 for good and Sergey Sirotkin took his place. Stroll had to act as the de facto team leader for his rookie teammate. It didn't help matters that the Williams was a shadow of its former self. To make matters worse, many labeled him as a pay driver.
<h2><strong>Lance Stroll: On-track Achievements</strong></h2>
Prior to F1, he was racing in Formula 3 in 2015, losing to champion Felix Rosenqvist and fellow F1 drivers Antonio Giovinazzi and Charles Leclerc. He finished 5th in the championship, racking up five podiums and a win. A year later, he went on to win the Formula 3 title, on the back of 14 wins and six podiums. He defeated Maximilian Gunther and George Russell to the title.

In his debut year in Formula One, he had a bad run initially with three retirements and three non-points finishes. Things changed in his home race in Canada with a maiden point-scoring finish of ninth. Then he stunned everyone and silenced many critics by landing on the podium in Baku, Azerbaijan. He finished the season in 12th after five more point-scoring finishes.

Sadly, 2018 was a terrible year for Williams and the Canadian. He could only muster two point-scoring finishes in Azerbaijan and Italy. Stroll ended the season in 18th. ?For the 2019 F1 season, Stroll joined the newly rebranded Racing Point F1 team.

Stroll's debut season with Racing Point didn't produce any noticeable results. The Canadian struggled to keep up with seasoned teammate Sergio Perez and eventually finished the year a disappointing 15th in the Drivers' Championship- scoring a mere 21 points.

Despite a less than stellar start to his racing ventures with the Silverstone outfit, Stroll took full advantage of the team's 2020 car to show his true potential.

With the RP20 bearing a strong resemblance to the 2019 Championship winning Mercedes, Stroll has delivered commendable performaces in the 2020 season.

The young Canadian finished 11th in the Drivers' Standings of the 2020 Championship.

Stroll will drive for the Aston Martin F1 team in 2021 with Sebastian Vettel.
