It is confirmed that either Valtteri Bottas or his teammate Zhou Guanyu will not be retained by Sauber next season, with Nico Hulkenberg joining the team. Sauber is considering pursuing Carlos Sainz as they transition into Audi in 2026, facing competition from Williams and Alpine. Bottas mentioned that the driver market has stalled, with no updates on his racing plans for the next season. Despite uncertainties, Bottas remains committed to F1 and actively discussing his future with various teams. The Finnish driver is waiting for pieces to fall into place before making a swift decision. Bottas indicated that the outcome of Carlos Sainz’s situation will impact the contracts of drivers without deals in place.
