The question of a possible replacement of Kimi Räikkönen agitated the paddock F1 for many weeks. Several names came back to the forefront, including that of Valtteri Bottas. Rumors that somewhat disturbed the Finn from the stable Williams.

Announcement of contract extension of the 2007 World Champion on Wednesday for the 2016 season put an end to speculation. A situation that pleases Bottas. “Now it’s easier for me and Williams, and Kimi and Ferrari, indicates the 25-year-old driver on the discipline’s website. Everyone wins. There are no more rumors, now there are facts. And this proves that a lot of rumors are false, but this is Formula 1. They have made a decision, and everything is clear to everyone. »

If Bottas believes that all these noises have not made the situation with his team easier, he admits, however, that his future is still under discussion.
