Felipe Massa is back for one year
Massa, who has started 250 F1 races in total, initially ended his career at Abu Dhabi in the final race of the 2016 season.
However, when Nico Rosberg also retired, Mercedes identified Williams' Bottas as their primary target to replace him.
"I also look forward to working with Lance.
"I’ve known him for many years and seen his talent develop during that time, so I look forward to seeing what we can achieve together.”
