Bottas wants talks over Alfa Romeo F1 future “quite early” in 2023
Listen to this article Bottas joined Alfa Romeo on a multi-year deal in 2022 after a five-season stint at Mercedes, and helped the Swiss-based team secure its best championship result since 2012 as it finished sixth in the constructors’ standings. The Finn has previously spoken about the importance of the stability offered by having a multi-year deal in place after previously only getting one-season extensions at both Williams and Mercedes.

Alfa Romeo believe matching their rivals in one critical area will vault Valtteri Bottas and Zhou Guanyu up the Championship standings in 2023. The Zurich-based team started last season in strong form, propelling brand new driver Valtteri Bottas to sixth in Bahrain while 2022 rookie Zhou Guanyu earned a points finish in tenth on his F1 debut. Bottas, fresh from winning the Constructors’ title in his final Mercedes season, produced a string of impressive results including the season highpoint: fifth at Imola. The Finn scored 46 valuable points in the first nine races but after leaving Canada, he would add just three more. While McLaren and Alpine built a buffer and Aston Martin hauled back into the midfield battle, Alfa were struck by a string of reliability headaches. Unable to unlock more performance fast enough, their healthy Bahrain advantage evaporated. “Around the summer shutdown, the pace at which (other teams) were developing or making changes on track was a little bit … [Read more...] about Alfa Romeo’s one big weakness that they want to eradicate for F1 2023
