Valtteri Bottas was expecting movement in the F1 driver market between the first two legs of the European triple-header, but delayed deadlines mean he must wait a while longer for his future to be resolved.
Valtteri Bottas has been eagerly awaiting updates on his future in Formula 1, but deadlines being pushed back has caused delays in any news regarding his contract situation. He had hoped for progress between the Spanish and Austrian Grand Prix races, but that did not happen as expected. It is believed Bottas is dependent on other moves in the driver market before he can make his own decisions. Speculations suggest he could return to Williams or potentially secure the remaining Alpine seat. However, the option of joining Haas seems less likely now, with Oliver Bearman set to be confirmed ahead of the British Grand Prix. Despite the uncertainty, Bottas remains focused on improving Stake’s performance on the track and is actively engaged in discussions with various teams to secure his future in F1.
