Alfa Romeo is now counting down the days before completing the 2022 grid by announcing the identity of Valtteri Bottas’ teammate. “Yes, we have already made a decision on the other driver,” Vasseur told France’s Canal Plus. Both are members of Alpine’s driver academy, and also under consideration to join Bottas at the post-season Abu Dhabi test in December. “It could be a Ferrari driver too,” the Frenchman admitted. That is despite his membership of Sauber’s academy and as a driver of the Vasseur-linked ART team. “I want Theo to have every weapon at his disposal to arrive in Formula 1,” said Vasseur.
