Bottas wants Ferrari switch if time at Mercedes comes

Bottas’ current contract at the Silver Arrows is up at the end of this season and the team are deciding whether or not to extend it to the end of the 2020 season.

While this is being figured out Esteban Ocon has been in the role of reserve driver for the team and a candidate for Bottas’ seat next year.

But Ocon has also been rumoured for a move to either Renault or Haas while Max Verstappen has been linked to Mercedes.

The Finn though has said that he would want to be in another one of the top teams should his time come at Mercedes, rather than back in a midfield team.

Bottas said (quoted by PlanetF1): “I think I’ve shown the team that I deserve to stay at Mercedes, but we’ll have to wait a few more races.
