168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Valtteri Bottas has insisted his contract demands “shouldn’t be an issue” amid reports the finances surrounding his potential Audi F1 deal are a sticking point.

Audi are still yet to decide which driver will partner 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Nico Hulkenberg at Sauber for the 2025 F1 season.

Bottas is one of three reali꧑stic options for Sauber next year.

Williams’ Franc⛦o Colapinto and McLaren junior Gabr💖iel Bortoleto are thought to be alternatives for Bottas.

A report by Swiss ℱpublication Blick has suggested Bott♔as’ money demands are causing “problems” for Audi.

When asked about the situation in Austin, he said as quoted by Motorsport Week: “I think I mentioned that I was hoping before Austin to be sorted, but we’re still waiting for💙 the final deci💯sions. I think that question is more for Mattia to answer, rather than me.

“At the moment, I’ve got the message that there’s nothing I can do at the moment, and it is not in my hands.  Of course, I’m trying to perform the best I can this weekend, and hope th𒆙at will boost things up. But that’s where we are.”

“We’ve been in touch on [a] weekly basis, and I know the terms that I’m up for and am just basically𝄹 wait𝓀ing for the green light.”

When asked specif꧋ically about the finances of the deal, he added: “Shouldn’t be, shouldn’t ꦦbe an issue.

“I think the terms we’re 𓃲talking about, I think they should be OK. And I think Audi should have the budget, at least that’s the word out there. So I don’t 🐲think it should be an issue.”

Bottas concede𒆙d not knowing about his F1 future is an “odd situation” and he’s had “🍎lots of time” to “think about different things.

“In the situat🅺ion I’m in now, with only one seat available, of course, there is a risk,” Bottas explained.

“I love Formula One, and I want to race in Formula One. So, naturally, it⛄’s a bit of an odd situation.

“But, you know, that’s where we are, and I’ve had lots of time to think about 🦩different things.  But s𒊎till, I’m always positive. I always stay positive, because I really feel and believe that I should be in that seat. I feel I would be best for the interest of the team.

“So, that’s why I’m staying positive. And like I said, not much more💮 I can do now, otꦫher than performing on the track and working hard with the team.”
