Didn't he used to drive at Williams? And he probably knows Vowles from Mercedes. How long does it take to have a cuppa coffee?

[–] frank@sopuli.xyz 3 points 7 months ago

I mean James was his race engineer so yeah they knew each other for sure

So i guess bottas is leaving sauber? Man bottas really deserves better, though williams ain‘t the jam either.

[–] Nighed@sffa.community 5 points 7 months ago

More like sauber (soon Audi) are firing both their drivers

[–] Knuschberkeks@feddit.de 2 points 7 months ago

Probably more Sauber is replacing him with Sainz.

[–] GreenEngineering3475@lemmy.world 6 points 7 months ago

He is an experienced driver and Vowels knows him well. Although can Williams afford his salary?

„Valtteri, it's James“

There are a limited number of available super license holders. Somehow i can't imagine Audi picking up someone from the F2 ranks to run their new car. Sainz has the inside here, but looks reluctant to take it. If Bottas isn't looking for a ride, why things like a visit? Hey, Seb still holds a license and he's German as well.
