In terms of their current options,168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史: Valtteri Bottas is keen to rem🍰ain with the team as he looks to prolong his F1 car𒆙eer.

“We're very h🎃appy, obviously, with ⛦our two Grand Prix drivers, and we would never want to hold a racing driver back in Grand Prix. in his career.

“So we'll kind of see how things play out, but focused on winning the championship and focused on not holding him back 🦹if we can't provide him with an opportunity in Formula 1, which looks unlike🔴ly at this time.”
