Kubica vai Sirotkin, formulatalli Williams vahvisti kisakuskit – näin osapuolet kommentoivat somessa

Venäläinen Sergei Sirotkin (22) on Williamsin toinen kisakuljettaja F1-kaudella 2018.

Viime kaudella Renaultin testikuljettajana toiminut Sirotkin saa rinnalleen Lance Strollin (19).

Päätös tarkoittaa Robert Kubican putoavan Williamsin varakuskiksi.

Sirotkinin valinnan lopullisena sinettinä lienee venäläisen liikemiehen Boris Rotenbergin lupaamat miljoonatukiaiset. Sirotkin kiittää somepostauksessaan tukijaansa.

Myös Kubica kiittää someviestissään Williamsia luottamuksesta – jalka on kuitenkin oven välissä.

I feel in the best physical shape that I have ever been, but it has taken a lot of work to get to where I am now, so I'd like to thank Williams for the opportunities they have given me so far, and for putting their faith in me with this appointment. #Kubica @williamsmartiniracing

I have enjoyed being back in the @f1 paddock over these past few months, and I now look forward to working with the @williamsmartiniracing technical team, both at the factory and at the track, to really help push forward the development of the FW41 and to make a real difference to their 2018 campaign. #WeAreRacing #TogetherToTheTop #Kubica 🏁 👊
