Before the race weekend in Baku, Valtteri Bottas said that there was a 99% chance he would stay with Sauber next season. However, team representative Alessandro Aluni Bravi told the FIA press conference on Friday that Hinvil is continuing to study candidates and that a decision will be made in the coming weeks.
Alessandro Alunni Bravi: “We are evaluating all available options to determine the best balance between short, medium and long term and possible young talent. There are potential candidates on both sides.
Valtteri is a strong driver and we know him very well. He has been with the team for three years now and is among the first on our list, but there are other options. We weigh the pros and cons. Mattia Binotto will make a decision taking into account not only 2025, but also the medium-term strategy for the Audi project.
We don’t set ourselves deadlines. We’re not opportunistic, but now that there’s only one spot left, we don’t want to rush. It’s necessary to evaluate everything, every aspect, and make the right decision. There’s no rush, but we want to close this topic as soon as possible. Everything will be decided in the coming weeks.”
