    True, but they had an experienced driver helping with setup, and data for the tracks with the current car from previous races. I think new young drivers with a whole new car would be tougher to get the setup just right.

    What does that have to do with your "Red Bull was successful with all young guys" theory

    Nothing, I want Massa to retire and I don't want to see the Williams seat wasted. Let someone younger and better have a shot and prove their worth. Give Massa a coaching position or something.

    If Williams thought having Massa back in that seat was a waste or that 2 rookies could develop their 2017 program they would probably do that

    Don't know unless you try that's all I'm saying. It's a safe move for sure. Much safer than lets say Crashtor.

    People have to remember that where teams place in the Constructors is worth 10's of millions of dollars per spot drop so having somebody that consistently finishes in the points is not a bad plan

    I get it but I'm not a fan of Massa so now without Bottas I'm not really rooting for Williams either.

    But even with the best 2 drivers, whoever that may be, they still won't be fighting for 1st or 2nd in the constructor's championship. I don't know what their goal is, but top 5 would be reasonable. Massa would be a better choice for achieving consistent points and helping with car setup.

    I think there is something in their contract with Martini that requires a driver to be over 25 for promotional reasons

    No, I was reasoning as to why they bought Massa back, because Lance Stroll I think is a little to young to promote Martini. The James Hunt days in F1 are long gone and PC is on high...
