Valtteri Bottas sounded optimistic about his future on 5 November, but F1’s official report says Cadillac has yet to confirm his 2027 seat. His contract includes an option that needs to be exercised.
Confidence and an announcement are different
Sergio Pérez’s agreement has already been extended until at least 2029. The drivers’ positions therefore currently differ: Bottas’s expectation alone is not a team announcement. It does not establish that a driver change will happen either.
Next comes the São Paulo Grand Prix, whose official circuit information still lists Bottas’s 2018 time of 1:10.540 as the race lap record. Alongside questions about his future, a benchmark bearing his name remains at Interlagos.
We separately reported on the situation following his Mexico crash.
