"It was a mistake"
Valtteri Bottas resigns after a disastrous season
For the first time in his Formula 1 career, Valtteri Bottas has finished a season with zero points. His move to Sauber was "a mistake", the Finn now says clearly.
Kronen Zeitung als bevorzugte Google-Quelle hinzufügen The season finale on Sunday in Abu Dhabi did not go according to plan either, symbolizing his disastrous season. After collisions and penalties, Bottas retired - the next bitter disappointment: "It's a shame, today really didn't go well for me."
The veteran now regrets his move in 2022 to what was then known as Alfa Romeo. Team boss Frederic Vasseur was an important supporter for him. "There was a clear plan for goals in those three years and how we wanted to achieve them," says Bottas. "But these plans went into the garbage can when he left." Vasseur has been Team Principal at Ferrari since January 2023.
Return to Mercedes?
And what's next for Bottas? The 35-year-old, who is not allowed to continue at Sauber, could return to Mercedes as a reserve driver. However, there is no official confirmation yet.
