Rumor cooks they are in full swing with their recipes and know how to say they should George Russell already signed a contract with the team Mercedes, where it will replace Valtteria Bottas.

Finn has so far rejected all these rumors and labeled them as nonsense, but on the portal F1i.com but now explains in detail the possibility that he might really have to after the end of this season leave Mercedes. "It's all very hypothetical, but it would definitely take a different way of thinking,”He says Bottas about the racing position for the second team next year. “This would be a whole new chapter in my career and I think the mental approach would be different. Most likely, at least in the beginning, I wouldn’t be fighting for wins and a title, so this would be a new project."

When asked who will be racing next to Lewis Hamilton at Mercedes next season, there is still no official answer at the time, but Valtteri Bottas spoke for the first time about a new chapter in his career if he had to leave the Silver Arrows team. Another indication in favor of young Russell?

In any case Bottas does not provide for departure from Formula 1, regardless of whether he stays with Mercedes or not. “I know what I want. I want to stay on the team. I think this is the best opportunity to win the races next year and fight for the title.“Nevertheless Bottas is not negatively in favor of leaving for another team. “It could also be very interesting. Of course, I will then look at other options in Formula 1 as I adore it. I still enjoy it and still think it has been waiting for me for quite a few more years." Unlikely however, it is to Bottas switched to another racing series, for example in rally. "Never say never, but at the moment I’m completely focused on Formula 1."
