Valtteri Bottas is keeping conspicuously quiet about rumbling speculation about his future as a works Audi driver in Formula 1. Auto Bild asked Bottas, 33, at Monza whether Audi will be looking forward to tapping into his experience of racing at Mercedes through the Hamilton era. By playing second fiddle to Hamilton, however, Bottas said he had to deal with “a lot of pressure at Mercedes”. My role is far more than just driving the car, and I didn’t have that feeling at Mercedes by a long shot.”. “It’s a good question that I find very difficult to answer,” Bottas said.
