Valtteri Bottas wants to discuss his future with Alfa Romeo 'quite early' this year, as he looks for continued stability in F1.
Bottas joined Alfa Romeo on a multi-year deal in 2022 after a five-season stint at Mercedes, and helped the Swiss-based team secure its best championship result since 2012 as it finished sixth in the constructors’ standings.
Bottas is therefore keen to ensure discussions about his future at Hinwil take place early this year to maintain this stability. “So yeah, for sure, it’s going to be a talking point hopefully quite early [in the year] on what’s going to happen.2023 will be the final year that the Sauber-run team races under the Alfa Romeo banner ahead of the arrival of Audi in 2026.at Hinwil, and noted the boost it had already given the whole operation.“But I think since then, people are talking less about it. We’re now just cracking on and obviously [in 2023], still nothing changes.
Bottas has expressed his interest in sticking around at Sauber until Audi joins the programme in 2026.Bottas emerged as Alfa Romeo’s team leader quite early in 2022, scoring 49 of its 55 points through the year, as well as helping it clinch P6 in the championship ahead of Aston Martin on countback thanks to his fifth-place finish at Imola., taking a step away from the pressures of racing at Mercedes at the very front of the grid and adjusting what he considers to be success.
