Valtteri Bottas eyeing long-term Mercedes stay

Valtteri Bottas has turned his attention to making his stay at Mercedes a long one, with the Finn preparing for a fourth year with the Silver Arrows in 2020. Bottas joined the team following Nico Rosberg's sudden retirement at the end of 2016 and has been solid enough for the team ever since.

Bottas won four races in 2019 as teammate Lewis Hamilton won a third consecutive title, and Bottas is now hoping to be more competitive to extend his stay with the German team.

He told Autosport: “I’ll be keen to see if there’s any other opportunities and whatever.
