BOTTAS 'teammate at ALFA ROMEO will be named after BRAZIL

The people in charge of the Alfa Romeo team could make a decision on who will be teammate Valtteri Bottas in the 2022 season only after the end of the racing weekend in Brazil.

Antonio Giovinazzi, the team's current racer Alfa Romeo, admitted that he has no idea in which direction the decision of the team boss will go Frederic Vasseur in terms of the occupation of the second race car for the 2022 season. "I don’t know if this is good or bad news. Of course, it’s not ideal when you don’t know what you’re going to do next year, but that’s the way it is,”Said the Italian in the frame GP of Mexicowhen he was addressed about his future. As is well known, Giovinazzi enjoys strong support Ferrari.

But it is assumed that Vasseur weighs in between $ 30 million in Chinese support Guanyu Zhou, Oscar Piastri, which is under the auspices Brand Webbra, and their own offspring Theo Pourchair. "I was asked about that,He said with a smile Vasseurwhen asked what direction he would choose. “They asked me who would be sitting next to Valtteri and I told them it would be me in my office." And then Vasseur he adds seriously: "We will make the decision a little later, maybe only after Brazil. I don’t want to talk about concrete candidates, because every time we do that, there’s a lot of noise in the media. So it is better if we stay calm. We have to make a difficult and important choice, but when we make a decision, we will also inform everyone," so French.

Vasseur admitted that for Giovinazzi it is not an ideal situation that he still does not know his destiny in terms of 2022 before the end of the season. "But in Formula 1, everyone is under pressure. I think Hamilton and Verstappen feel a great burden of responsibility on themselves, but these are the characteristics of the business we are dealing with.“Team leader Alfa Romeo he also acknowledged that the team could benefit from a certain degree stability of the racer, as new rules are coming in 2022, and it is coming from the Mercedes team Bottas. "Of course, the stability of the racing team is an important factor, but it is far from the only one on which our choice depends," Ends Vasseur.
