Former Mercedes driver Valtteri Bottas asserts his strong desire to make a comeback to Formula 1 next year with the new American team. Bottas, a seasoned F1 racer with ten victories under his belt, is not ready to hang up his racing helmet just yet.
Despite currently serving as Mercedes’ reserve driver, Bottas adamantly expresses, “I still feel like I’m not done with F1.” In an interview on the official Formula 1 podcast Beyond the Grid, the Finnish driver reveals his burning passion to continue competing at the highest level.
