Williams F1 driver Felipe Massa has announced he will retire from Formula 1 at the end of the 2017 season. The veteran F1 driver announced his retirement from the sport for the second time after he originally retired at the end of last year. However, Williams asked Massa to comeback to the sport after Valtteri Bottas was upgraded to Mercedes-AMG to fill in for Nico Rosberg, leaving a void within Williams. That said, Williams is yet to announce a replacement for Massa with Robert Kubica, Paul di Resta and Pascal Wehrlein in contention.

Speaking on his retirement, Felipe Massa said in a statement, "As everyone knows, after announcing my retirement from Formula 1 last year, I agreed to return this season to help Williams when the call came."
