Formula 1 pundit Jennie Gow claims Valtteri Bottas would be the ideal driver to join Red Bull as the second driver to Max Verstappen.
Valtteri Bottas will be leaving Sauber at the end of the 2024 F1 season, and currently has no seat for the 2025 season. He joined Sauber in 2022 after five seasons with Mercedes, where he won 10 races and achieved 58 podium finishes. Bottas is being replaced by Gabriel Bortoleto for the next season, but there is speculation that he could join Red Bull as a stop gap in the second seat. His former teammate Lewis Hamilton praised him as the best teammate he had in F1. Meanwhile, Sergio Perez currently occupies the second seat at Red Bull, but his performance has not been at the level of Verstappen’s, raising the possibility of Bottas being a good fit for the team.
