Bottas faces an uncertain F1 future, with Williams, Alpine, and Sauber all potential homes.
Valtteri Bottas still lacks a “clear answer” on which team he will drive for in the 2025 F1 season.
Bottas’ future remains uncertain as he awaits Carlos Sainz’s decision.
The ten-time F1 Grand Prix winner is primarily in contention at Williams, while he is also a candidate to stay with Sauber or join Alpine F1.
Speaking ahead of today’s Hungarian Grand Prix, Bottas openly admitted he was still awaiting news.
“Maybe we’re waiting on Carlos, but maybe not. I mean, at some point, I don’t think everyone will probably wait for him. But I’m still waiting for something.”
Bottas was then asked if he was “surprised that things are dragging on,” and he responded: “That’s a very good question. Honestly, I hoped that things would have been settled before this weekend, as there was a weekend without F1. But we still have to wait a bit. I don’t have a clear answer.”
“Obviously, for me, I’m reaching the point where, I hope, as soon as possible, as everyone knows, if things drag into the August break, or after the August break, it can start to become quite nerve-wracking.”
Bottas remains open to staying with Sauber even though they are not particularly keen to retain him.
Sauber, which will become Audi in 2026, has already signed Nico Hulkenberg.
The German brand has Sainz at the top of its wishlist, while a host of other drivers have been linked to this seat in recent months.
Regarding Sauber, Bottas stated: “Yes, that option is still there. It’s part of the business, for sure.”
“But I also want to be in a place where I have respect, where everyone knows what I can achieve and bring to the team.”
