Bottas clear about his future in Formula One: 'No doubt'

Valtteri Bottas is confident that Alfa Romeo will perform well next season. The Finnish driver told Reuters that despite his 33-year-old age, he still feels enough energy in him to take his team forward.

After five seasons with Mercedes, Bottas decided to switch to Alfa Romeo at the beginning of 2022. Together with the inexperienced Guanyu Zhou, he was to try to help the formation return to better results after a down period.

The driver immediately proved his added value for the racing stable last season. With 49 points, he played a crucial role in finishing sixth in the constructors' championship. Alfa Romeo finished equal to Aston Martin with 55 points.

Despite stepping back, Bottas notices that he still gets satisfaction from his race weekends. "Actually, I always feel like from every season I learn something new," he analyses. "That way you become more experienced and better. I still have many years in me, no doubt."

Bottas is adamant to the medium that he definitely wants to continue for several more seasons. "I'm enjoying the racing, enjoying everything involved in F1 so I have many, many years ahead of me so let's see what happens," said Bottas, who wants to compete for podium spots with Alfa Romeo in the future.
