Bottas postpones decision on future in F1: 'No news this weekend'
Valtteri Bottas is under a lot of pressure at Mercedes. The Finn has been a driver with the German team since 2017 but could well not return to the world champions after this season. George Russell is knocking on the door to take over the seat, but in the press conference prior to the Dutch Grand Prix, where Formule1.nl were present, he makes clear that he has no news to share.
"This weekend I don't have any news yet, maybe I already know where I ride, maybe not. I don't want to say much more about it. Things are going in the right direction at the moment and I am happy and excited". If Bottas continues to drive in Formula 1 next year, he will be the only Finn at the top of motorsport.
Bottas the only Finn in F1 next year?
Kimi Raikkonen announced on Wednesday evening that he is entering his last Formula 1 season. The Alfa Romeo driver thus brings an end to his impressive career, which Bottas himself respects."He is a big star in Finland and a legend in the sport. He has always had respect for his competition."

"Maybe I do, maybe I don't! I don't want to say much more. But things are going in the right direction. And I'm happy and I'm excited."
