Lance Stroll is relaxed abo🌟ut whoever will race alongside hi♈m in Formula 1 next year, saying he simply wants a “team player” to help lift Williams up the grid.

With Felipe Massa retiring from F1 following last Sunday𓃲’s Abu Dhabi Grand 🐭Prix, Williams is currently working to find a replacement for 2018 to race alongside Stroll.

Robert Kubica is understood to be the favourite for the seat after completing multiple private tests and further running in Abu Dhabi earlier this week, while other options include Sergey 🐬Sirotkin, Paul di Resta, Pascal Wehrlein and Daniil Kvyat.

Asked what he would look 🎃for in a potential teammate for 2018, Stroll said: “I just want a ꦉteam player.

“At the end of the day you drive y🦋our car and that is what you focus on with yourself and your side of the garage but of course it is always g🍒ood to have  a good relationship.

“You never want to have a negative battle or the team splitting up in any way. You always want someone pushing you all the time who is competitive and at the top of their g🐟ame so you can bec♎ome a better driver.

“It comes down to what Williams decides to do, and I will live🅺 with that.”

Having spent a year at Williams already, Stroll will help his new teammate settle in upon their arrival, but said he would not be losing focus on his own dutiᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚes in order to do so.

“I think it comes down to him settling into the team🦄,” Stroll said.

“In F1 🧜nobody is here to help you and y𓂃ou have to make your place and that is done by everyone individually.

“I hope to have a good ▨relationship with my teammate but I’ll be doing me 🐠and he’ll be doing him.”
