Valtteri Bottas will not be saying goodbye to Formula 1 in the coming years, but at the same time is already thinking about the future and believes that one of the possible options to continue his career is the switch to the American IndyCar series.
“In America, race organizers know how to entertain the public. For example, the American Grand Prix is more than just a race,” said the Finnish Alfa Romeo driver, who participated in the Slow News Day podcast. – Here the whole city of Austin is wrapped in this festive atmosphere, various concerts are held everywhere and generally everything is happening.
I liked the amusement park that was built next to the track and now that Formula 1’s popularity in America is growing, the general atmosphere has become even better. This stage of the season is one of my favorites, if not my favorite. That’s why I don’t rule out racing in the US someday.
I’m already thinking about it, although of course I still have a few years in Formula 1 ahead of me and I feel like I haven’t done everything for this sport. But I think IndyCar is a very interesting series. Let’s see, we’ll see. There is no need to think too much about this subject just yet, but someday it will have to happen. You never know how things will turn out.
In my opinion, IndyCar is a great series, there are interesting circuits and it seems that the battle is really on, and as far as I understand there is less politics in this championship than in Formula 1. Again, recently the popularity of this series is growing, at least in Europe – I personally know many who follow the events in IndyCar. So let’s see.”
Now nearly a dozen European drivers compete in IndyCar, two of them, Roman Grosjean and Markus Erikson, have once raced in Formula 1 for a long time, and the Swede generally excelled this year – winning the legendary Indy 500 race. Markus was seen last weekend in the paddock of the track in Austin, where he was a guest of the Alfa Romeo team, with whom he maintains good relations from old memories.
