Bottas surprised:
Mercedes comeback? “Definitely an option”
Valtteri Bottas back in the Mercedes cockpit? "It's definitely an option," said the Finn during the Mexico weekend, fueling any rumors.
When asked whether there was any truth to the reports and whether Bottas would even consider a Mercedes comeback as a reserve driver, the Kick Sauber driver said: "My top priority is to remain a racing driver. That's also what we want to push for with Mattia (Binotto, note). But as I haven't signed anything yet, I obviously have to look at the alternatives - including a return to the Mercedes family."
Signing with the Silver Arrows is of course an option that Bottas is considering, says the 35-year-old.
Two-time world championship runner-up
Bottas drove for Mercedes from 2017 to 2021, finishing runner-up behind his then team-mate Lewis Hamilton in 2019 and 2020. For the 2023 season, the ten-time GP winner signed with the Alfa Romeo racing team, which will compete as Stake F1 Team Kick Sauber in 2024.
