This week it became official that Valtteri Bottas will not be in the Sauber kick , just like his teammate Guanyu Zhu. Both of them have not yet managed to score any points this season, and in 2025 they will no longer be part of the team. After that, the team announced the signing of Gabriel bortolito to form a duo with Nico Hulkenberg. In this way they seek to make a facelift of the project that fails to take off.

A new opportunity
Getting a place on the network next year is a practically impossible task. With an increasing number of young people forcibly breaking into the Queen’s class, the one who was the world runner-up on two occasions has run out of space. He has no space as a starting driver, but he found potential as a reserve at Mercedes.
The team with which he achieved all his victories in Formula 1 could be the new destination for Valtteri in 2025. With the departure of Lewis Hamilton to Ferrari, George Russell formed a duo with Kimi Antonelli. The young Italian talent was the Reserve this season for the Silver Arrows team, so his promotion makes the position empty. Instead of looking for an unknown option, the headquarters of Brackley is considering the possibility of bringing back ‘ 77 after four years. There is nothing official yet, but this ridiculous season may end with the 35-year-old adopting a new role.
The player from Finland has left a very good feeling in this team in his five seasons there. In addition, they released a message on their social networks fueling rumors of his return. After making his official departure from Sauber kick, Mercedes responded with a photo of the ’77 car on its official X account to a message saying:” I miss him and he’s just an athlete.”. Now it’s time to wait to see if their paths are getting back together.
