It is still the number one priority in my life. This feeling, now that I am a spectator, has grown stronger and stronger, and I&#8217;m really starting to miss racing. \u00bb<\/p>\n<p>A feeling of incompleteness for the Mercedes reserve driver. I feel that, especially in the last two years of my career, this is clearly not how I want it to end.<\/p>\n<p>\u00ab At the end of last year, whether in qualifying or in the race, I felt that I was at the top of my form. I don&#8217;t feel any drop in level for now. That&#8217;s why I want to continue. We humans age, but I don&#8217;t feel it yet! \u00bb<\/p>\n<h2>An option available at Cadillac?<\/h2>\n<p>One of the projects Valtteri Bottas is involved in is that of <a href=\"\/f1\/actualite\/36785-cadillac-trouve-premier-sponsor.html\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Cadillac has found its first sponsor\">Cadillac<\/a>, a team in the process of being launched \u2013 supported by the American giant General Motors and TWG Motorsports, which will make <b>its entry in F1 next year.<\/b><\/p>\n<p>With his experience and track record, Valtteri Bottas could be an asset for this team still under construction. He also admits that this project is very interesting from the outside.<\/p>\n<p>I don&#8217;t think they are in a rush, he explained, talking about Cadillac&#8217;s driver choices. They are very, very focused on getting a car on the grid for next year. I know my own schedule, I know when I want to have answers for next year and the decisions I need to make. I think aiming for August is a good target. But I hope we will have news sooner.<\/p>\n<p>He continues: \u00ab I think they have several drivers on their list. I imagine that my experience could be an asset, as I have raced for three different teams, one of which has had enormous success. Even with Williams, we achieved very good results, so I hope to be in a good position. \u00bb<\/p>\n<p>\u00ab For me, it&#8217;s really a very interesting project: something new in F1, an American team with perhaps a different vision of the sport. If I were there as a driver, it would be really exciting, because everything starts from scratch. You can really have a significant influence on certain choices, on the direction to take, and it would be very motivating and rewarding when the results come. \u00bb<\/p>\n<p>\u00ab I think that a change in regulations is always a good time to make a comeback because you never know: if you find the right formula, you can perform really well right from the start \u00bb, he concluded.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Valtteri Bottas says he \u00ab isn&#8217;t done with Formula 1 yet \u00bb and still has \u00ab things to bring \u00bb to the sport in the future.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":133,"featured_media":46025,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1,1749],"tags":[19,118,1647],"class_list":["post-31848","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-f1","category-news","tag-19","tag-cadillac","tag-bottas"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.2 -
