168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Valtteri Bottas has no concerns about working with 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:George Russell at Mercedes, ad♎mitting they have laughed about their infamous incident a꧅t Imola in 2021.

Bottas has returned to Mercedes as their test and reserve driver for the 2025 F1 season, working alongside Russell and Antonelli.

The Finn spent five seasons at Brackley as Mercedes went u🐽nbeaten in the F1 c🐻onstructors’ championship.

During Bottas’ f✃inal two years with the team, he was put under incr✨eased pressure to keep his seat by Russell, who was performing well at Williams.

Russell out-performed Bottas during the British driver’s stand-in appearance at the 2020 Sakhir Grand Prix after168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史: Lewis Hamilton was ruled out of the weekend due to coronavirus.

The pair came to blows at the 2021 Emilia Romagna - a hꦉigh-speed incident on the start-finish straight.

An angry Ruജssell went up to Bottas’ stricken Mercedes and hit him on the head, while the latter retaliated with a middle finger.

Russell would ultimately replac♐e Bottas at Mercedes f♚or 2022. 

Speaking at the launch of Mercedes’ partnership with Adidas, Bottas was asked if 🀅he could work with Russell given their history.

“We can [work together]. We c🍸an l💃augh about our incident in Imola already so that’s good. So all good,” Bottas said.

Mercedes will let Bottas pursue other opportunities

Bottas' main goal is to return to the F1 grid ꦰin 2026.

The 35-year-old was overlooked by Sauber, which opted to sign 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Gabriel Bortoleto.

His main chance of returning to the grid next year is wꦕith Cadillac.

Cadillac are set to be F1’s 11th team, which means there wi♏ll 🙈be 22 cars on the grid in 2026.

Bottas has expressed the need to🌼 be “dynamic” if any opportunities arise so☂oner.

“I think we both k𓂃now, me and the team, we’ve got to be dynamic,” he said.

“I am at the moment fully committed to the year, giving everything I have for ❀the team and trying to help the best I can.

“If there’s an opportunity to race I doubt the team would stay ꦯin between that. Let’s see.

“Let’s take it race by race, let the season start and then let us see what the year brings and what 2026🔥 brings.”
