Responding to media reports that a deal had been done, Williams said no driver announcement was imminent. "Although conversations are ongoing with Kubica, it is still yet to be finally decided who will replace Massa," they said in a statement. However the Pole has twice tested a 2014 Williams car, after failing to secure a seat at Renault, and is being represented by retired 2016 world champion and former Williams driver Nico Rosberg. He could also take part in a tyre test in Abu Dhabi with Williams next week, although the team have yet to confirm that. Other contenders for the Williams seat are the team's British reserve driver Paul di Resta, Russian Daniil Kvyat and Germany's Pascal Wehrlein.
