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.”
