F1 LIVE: Christian Horner under investigation as Bottas teases Mercedes return | F1 | Sport

Stake F1 Team driver Valtteri Bottas has tonight hinted he’d be open to replacing Lewis Hamilton at Mercedes for 2025.

The Finn was Hamilton’s team-mate for the Silver Arrows for five seasons, racking up 10 wins and 58 podiums.

And asked about potentially replacing the Brit from next year, he said this evening: “It [Hamilton to Ferrari] will definitely create some movement for the future, which is good for the whole sport and for the drivers.

“It’s no lie, I was in Brackley the day before – not at the Mercedes factory, but I was there doing some other stuff. No, we haven’t spoken on the phone yet with Toto [Wolff].

“But if I would go back? Yeah… obviously my priority and biggest commitment is the Audi project, which is my target, but if that wouldn’t happen, there is no team that I wouldn’t go to, let’s say. But I know my priorities.”
