a driver scratches Red Bull, the Austrian team takes its place

Red Bull not spared. As the 2024 Formula 1 season comes to an end in two Grands Prix, the rumors from Red Bull continue. Rumors regarding second Red Bull seat consideration given Sergio Pérez has had disappointing results this year. While the Austrian team is unlikely to obtain a second constructors' title in a row, given that Pérez is too far behind in the drivers' standings and brings few points, rumors are rife. A replacement for the Mexican could take place and several names are mentioned. Except that a driver has decided to attack Red Bull and it is Valtteri Bottas, who dismisses the idea of ​​being called to team up with Max Verstappen.

Bottas attacks Red Bull

The Finn does not imagine being called by Red Bull with a view to replacing Sergio Pérez in 2025. Not renewed by Stake/Sauber for next season, Bottas took the floor to talk about Red Bull and he scratched the Austrian team. In comments transcribed by Motorsport.com, Bottas said on the subject: “I feel like there are people at Red Bull who don't really like me, and that's a reason [pour ne pas m’attendre à ce qu’ils me contactent]. So I don't know, I don't think that's an option, but that's my feeling.” Suffice to say that it is clear, while he should become a reserve driver for Mercedes next year. A team that he knows well given that he has already started for the Silver Arrows and helped to obtain five constructors' titles in a row.
