Valtteri Bottas' F1 future in doubt amid reports Sauber wanted him out ahead of 2024
Valtteri Bottas' future with S🐈auber looks uꦇncertain given recent reports.

168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Valtteri Bottas’ future at Sauber is in doubt with suggestions that CEO Andreas Seidl wanted to replace him ahead of the 2024 F1 season.
Bottas’ contractꦿ with Sauber runs out at the end of the year, making him one of 12 drivers without a contrꦿact for 2025.
The former Mercedes driver has expressed🐻 his desire to remain at Sauber ahead of Audi’s takeover in 2026.
However, it appears Bottas isn’t doing enough to convince Audi - or 𒁏the team’s CEO - to stay with the team.
According to reputable journalist Christian Menath, Sauber is not “100 per cent satisfied” with either Bottas or 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Zhou Guanyu.
“Sauber, relatively disappointing in terms of performanc𓄧e,” he said on the Motorsport Magazin . “Sauber is not 100% satisfied with the 🦋two drivers.
“Valtteri Bottas was signed by Fred Vasseur three years ago, not Andreas Seidl who probably would have liked to haveﷺ been rid of him a year earlier, so I’m pretty sure that there are two cockpits to fill.
“Zhou Guanyu, of course, also brings a lot o🌠f ꦛmoney, but perspectively, Sauber will become the Audi works team and a pay driver will no longer be required to play a role at all.”
Haas driver 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Nico Hulkenberg has been heavily linked with a switch to Hinwil.
Sauber repor🎃tedly contacted Hulkenberg about a drive for 2024, but he’s signed up at Haas.

Accordinꦫg to , if Sauber don’t want to retain Bottas, he still has “plenty of options”.
Lawrence Barretto wrote: “W🍃here could he land if he doesn’t stay at Sauber? Mercedes have a plethora of options 🎃available.
“Should they decide they need an experienced pair of hands and someone they can♉ trust for a shorter-term contract before possibly signing someone long-term, a move for Bottas ▨would be within the realms of possibility.
“Els🐟ewhere, Alpine could do with someone of Bottas’s experience as they🍌 look to fight their way up from the bottom of the pecking order.
“A return home to Williams, where Bottas made his debut, could also make sense for both sides as the British team l𒁃ook to accelerate their rebuild. Plenty of options, then, for the man who has more F1 wins than all but three drivers on the grid…”
