I have a good relationship with Toto and the team, so we will see what happens, Bottas said.
My focus is on getting back to racing. That is what I love to do and where I feel I can make the biggest impact. I am confident that I can find a competitive seat for next season and continue to fight for wins and championships.
Mercedes have not yet confirmed their reserve driver for the 2025 season, but Bottas is considered the frontrunner for the role.
It’s always good to have options and explore all possibilities. But my main focus is on staying in Formula 1 for 2026. Let’s see what happens.”
