Williams' deputy team principal Claire Williams reveals there will be no driver changes before the Singapore Grand Prix, which is a fortnight away.

Williams say that she expects changes to eventually happen, but it won't be too soon, and will most likely be after the Singapore race.

Lance Stroll is strongly rumoured to be moving from Williams to Force India, who have recently been bought by his dad, Lawrence Stroll and his consortium.

"I don't think it is going to happen quickly," Williams explained to Sky Sports F1. "There are quite a lot of hoops that we've still got to jump through around the (Force India) sale in particular.

"One that's happened I think then things will start moving. I don't think we'll see a change before Singapore certainly."

Force India however, look as if they are keen to keep their two drivers, Esteban Ocon and Sergio Perez, following their impressive day today - with the two securing P7 and P8 respectively in the second practice.

"We've got to look to see what we're doing next year, we've got a lot of points yet to score this year," Szafnauer said. "I think we're ninth now and we've got our sights set to be a little bit higher so we've just got to focus on that. We'll worry about drivers later."
