While it is reported that Haas are definitely keeping Romain Grosjean and Kevin Magnussen next year, it is less clear whether Felipe Massa and Lance Stroll are staying at Williams.

"We have decided to let the driver question rest for a while," deputy team boss Claire Williams is quoted as saying by Speed Week.

"We currently have a tough fight on the track and do not want this kind of topic as a distraction."

Williams ar fifth in the standings ahead of this weekend's Hungarian Grand Prix.
