Valtteri Bottas considers his annual negotiations to extend the contract with the team Mercedes Benz they were not ideal for his mental concentration in the fight with Lewis Hamilton. The Finn has been racing for the Silver Arrows team since 2017, but so far he has always received only one-year contract. He will race for again next year Mercedes Benz, since he - you can guess three times - received one-year contract. So that v summer time in 2020 renegotiation of the contract is pending again. According to him, this for a racer not an ideal situation.
"There was a time when the situation in terms of the 2020 season was anything but certain. Lots of rumors, so I had no idea what was going to happen and I just had to wait,”Se Bottas recalls the harrowing moments of this summer. Toto wolff, the head of the Mercedes team, admits: “There are better ways to solve this topic. Looking back, we can say that this may have really affected his psyche. I will take this into account and try to do a better job in the future."
Bottas, which started this season very well, is in Baku explained at the end of April that he had not even thought about new contracts and that he also sees no need to start talks. However, he commented at the time: "If the talks start, then I hope we end them quickly and that they don’t drag on forever.”Na his grief this also happened because for season 2020 has only been confirmed end of August.
V compared to Hamilton Bottas sees himself in a subordinate position. “You don’t have that peace of mind and you can’t focus on your work with a clear head. You don't have a hundred percent free head. It's not that easy. If this always goes on like this, every year of your career, then at some point it will become annoying. Although it’s nice to sign a new contract every time. But I'm afraid next year will be the same song again," so Finn.
"But I'm not worrying about that at the moment. My speed responds, I look forward to racing and I enjoy working with the team. But I hope they appreciate that too,” he says Bottas. Otherwise, c summer 2020 will not be the only racer to negotiate a new contract. The end of 2020 practically all racers' contracts expire - also to his teammate Lewis Hamilton. "For 2021, the door is wide open. No racer is confirmed in any team. This is very exciting and I'm sure the racers' carousel will start spinning soon,”He adds Toto wolff.
