Valtteri Bottas: I am not participating in the season of rumors.
Before the start of the race weekend in Spa, Valtteri Bottas commented on the rumors that Cadillac is looking for a replacement for him for the next season. The Finn assures that he should not be counted among the drivers whose future is in question.
Valtteri Bottas: "Rumors are part of Formula 1. Sometimes headlines appear that do not correspond to reality, but that's how it is. Especially now, with social media, people quickly pick up such messages, which spread across the network instantly.
The main thing is that I know how things are for me and how things are for the team. As soon as these rumors appeared, the team immediately told me that they were completely untrue. I understand my situation well, so I take it calmly. This is not something new for me, as I have faced similar stories throughout my career. At some point, every driver goes through something like this.
So this year, I am not participating in the traditional rumor season about transfers."
