Massa reacts to Stroll's claim he was not his mentor at Williams

Former Williams teammates Felipe Massa and Lance Stroll appear to be at odds over the amount of help the Brazilian veteran offered the Canadian rookie last year.

In an interview with Autosport, Stroll said he did not think he "had any guidance from him [Massa] last year, whatsoever". The quotes were made in the context of Russian rookie Sergey Sirotkin replacing Massa at Williams this year, creating the least experienced driver line-up on the grid.

But Stroll argues that having a teammate of Massa's experience did not make a big difference to his rookie year.
