Is Valtteri Bottas considering joining Ferrari?

At the end of a disappointing season at Ferrari, Kimi Räikkönen will have a hard time facing his new teammate Sebastian Vettel. The future of the Finn within the Team is uncertain, especially since the 2007 world champion's contract ends at the end of the season.

The Maranello team could nevertheless keep a Finn in its ranks if she chose to replace Kimi Räikkönen with Valtteri Bottas. The pilot Williams distinguished himself last year by finishing in fourth place in the Championship. “ I don't know anything about Kimi's contract. All I know is I want to be behind the wheel of the fastest car. That's all I can say ", replied the Nordic driver of the British team.

Valtteri Bottas' direct objective is above all to get on the first step of the podium, after having obtained second place twice last year (at Silverstone and at Hockenheim). “We always have dreams in mind but I'm actually living in the real world, but I'm definitely aiming for that first victory. The best place to win it would perhaps be Budapest (the Hungarian GP). Budapest is known in Finland as “the Finnish Grand Prix”. There are always many Finns in Budapest. But I wouldn't mind winning in the first race either. »

Valtteri Bottas will be able to try his luck during the Australian Grand Prix which will open the season on March 15 in Melbourne.
