“I’m not done yet” - Valtteri Bottas vows to make F1 return after disappointing exit
Valtteri Bottas isn𝓀't done with F1 despite exiting from the sport after the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix.

168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Valtteri Bottas says he’s “not done yet” with F1 after a disappointing exit from Sauber at the F1 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix.
Bottas was forced to retire from the race at the Yas Marina Circuit following contact with 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Kevin Magnussen.
T♉he Finn had qualified in the top 10, but his race fell apart on the opening l💧ap.
He picked up a 10-second time penalty for colliding with 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Sergio Perez at Turn 6 and then crashed into the side of Magn🔥ussen’s Haas.
Abu Dhabi brings an end to a po༺or final season for Bottas, who didn’t score a point in any of the 24 races.
Bottas will sit on the sidelines next year after Sauber opted to replace him 𝕴with F2 champion Gabriel Bortoleto.
Reflec🧸ting on the race at Yas Marina, Bottas said: “Definitely not the ideal finish b🎶ut these things happen, it’s racing.
“Not the first time, everything just went wrong since Lap 1. The incident, then I gotౠ a penalty for it, then I was at the back out of position and later on, got together with Kevin [Magnussen]. It was my bad, I was defending with old tyres and I tried to brake as late as I could but I just couldn’t stop the car.”
He added: “This is not the way I want to finish, which is why I’m not♈ done yet.”
What’s next for Bottas?
According to repor🔴ts, Bottas is set to return to Mercedes as their third driver next year.
He will support 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:George Russell andඣ Kimi Antonelli, and step in fo♏r either of them as a race driver if necessary.
The bad news for Bottas is that if he races again in F1, he will have to serve a five-place grid penalty after the steward꧟s penalised him for colliding ♌with Magnussen.
Botꦐtas still remains lightning fast, as demonstrated by his Q3 appearance in Abu Dhabi.
He also out-qualified 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Zhou Guanyu 21-3 across the 2024 campaign.
Bottas wants to return to❀ F1 -and perhaps the Cadillac-GM en൩try will give him that chance.
But if it’s the end for Bottas, he’s had a great career, winning 10 races and over 60 p⭕odium finishes.
