168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Valtteri Bottas has insisted his contract demands “shouldn’t be an issue” amid reports the finances surrounding his potential Audi F1 deal are a sticking point.

Audi are still yet to decide which driver will partner 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Nico Hulkenberg at Sauber for the 2025 F1 season.

Bottas is one of three realist💯ic options for Sauber next year.

Williams’ Franco Colapinto and McLaren junior Gabriel Bortoleto are thought to be alternatives for Bot💛tas💖.

A repo⭕rt by Swiss publication Blick has suggested Bottas’ money demands are causing “problems” for Audi.

When asked about the situation in Austin, he said as quoted by Motorsport Week: “I think I mentioned that I was hoꦗping before Austin to be sorted, but we’re still waiting for the final decisions. I think that question is more for Mattia to answer, rather than me.

“At the moment, I’ve got the message that there’s nothing I can do at the moment, and it i🦹s not in my hands.  Of course, I’m trying to perform the best I can this weekend, and hope that will boost things up. 🍌But that’s where we are.”

“We’ve been in touch on [a] weekly basis, and I knജow the terms that I’m up for and am just basically waiting for the green light.”

When asked specifically about the finances of the deal, he adde✱d: “Shouldn’t be, shouldn’t be an issu🧔e.

“I think the terms we’re talking about, I think they should be OK. And I think Audi should have the budget, at least that’s the word out there. S💎o I don’t think it should be an ✤issue.”

Bo🤪ttas conceded not knowing about his F1 future is a🎉n “odd situation” and he’s had “lots of time” to “think about different things.

“In the situation I’m in now, with only one seat available, of course, the♓re is a risk,” Bottas explained.

“I love Formula One, and I want to race inꦗ Formula One. So, naturally, it’s a bit of an odd situation.

“But, you know, that’s where we are, and I’ve had lotꦬs of time to think about different thin♊gs.  But still, I’m always positive. I always stay positive, because I really feel and believe that I should be in that seat. I feel I would be best for the interest of the team.

“So, that’s why I’m staying positive. And like I said, not much more I can do now, other than performing on the track and working hard with t🎉he team.”
