A Williams spokesperson has played down reports its F1 team drivers could race in the electric single seater series Formula E next year.
Reports, including by the Finnish broadcaster MTV3, had cited rumours that with Williams set to run Jaguar's new Formula E team, Felipe Massa and Valtteri Bottas could be drafted into the driver lineup when possible.
But a spokesman for the Oxfordshire based team said there is "no truth whatsoever" to the speculation. (GMM)

Why on earth would they race there? They'll hardly have the time for that with a filled calendar like the one 2016 will feature.

Formula E isn't a real series. Really, giving an advantage to the driver with the most responses on facebook and changing cars halfway through the "race". Best they try again in ten years.
