Bottas extended the contract with the F1 Mercedes team, Vettel’s options are getting thinner
Aug 7, 2020
Bottas’s agreement with the Silver Arrows further complicated Sebastian Vettel’s situation. The four-time world champion will finish at Ferrari after this season and has no other engagement yet.
Mercedes was one of the mentioned variants. Others were Racing Point (which will run in 2021 under the name Aston Martin) and Red Bull. And since most of the seats are already occupied, the German pilot is in danger of having to miss next season.
Bottas has been with Mercedes since 2017, when he became the successor of Nico Rosberg, who unexpectedly ended his career after winning the title in the previous season.
“I am happy to be able to stay in the Mercedes and build on our successes to date,” Bottas said. “I’m sure I’m stronger now than ever, but the bar can always be raised. Mercedes shares the same philosophy – to keep improving and to be hungry for more success,” added the second man in the championship standings.
Bottas, who started his Formula 1 career in 2013 in Williams, has scored eight victories so far. He last rejoiced in this year’s inaugural race in Austria. He finished best last year in the overall classification.
“I’m fighting for the title this year and by staying in Mercedes, I’ll have a great starting position next season,” Bottas said before the weekend Jubilee Grand Prix in Silverstone.
