Bottas 'surprised' by whispers of Cadillac exit
Valtteri Bottas said he's surprised by the speculation he could lose his Cadillac seat in 2027 because it goes against the feedback he has been getting from the team.
Bottas signed on a multi-year deal for F1's newest team at the start of 2026 but his role beyond this year remains unclear.
Cadillac has pushed on with accumulating superlicence points for American driver Colton Herta, who is set to reach the magic 40 mark needed to be eligible for Formula 1 by taking part in first practice ahead of this weekend's Sao Paulo Grand Prix.
Despite a growing number of reports that he might be due an early exit, Bottas remained bullish on his future on Thursday.
