Alfa Romeo could be ready to decide Valtteri Bottas’ 2022 teammate after next weekend’s race in Brazil. Antonio Giovinazzi, the incumbent, admits he has no idea which way team boss Frederic Vasseur’s decision will go. “I don’t know if it’s good news or bad news,” said the Italian in Mexico when asked about the looming call. “Of course it’s not ideal when you don’t know what you’re doing next year, but that’s the way it is.”. “I was just asked that,” Frenchman Vasseur laughed in Mexico when asked which way it will go. “I was asked ‘Who will sit next to Valtteri’ and I said it will be me in my office.”. “Of course such a factor as stability of the lineup is important,” admitted Vasseur, “but this is far from the only factor on which our choice depends.”.
