Valtteri Bottas - Salary and Sponsors
Finnish veteran Valtteri Bottas joined the Mercedes F1 team in 2017 and has played a key role in them winning four consecutive Constructors’ Championships in F1, securing nine wins and 53 podium finishes in his time with Mercedes. In 2021, the 32-year-old announced that he would be joining Alfa Romeo as their new driver, as Mercedes brought in George Russell to replace him. Valtteri was somewhat mistreated in the Mercedes camp and always had to play second fiddle to Lewis Hamilton. Mercedes have stated that Bottas didn’t reach the expectations set for him by the team. However, there have also been several instances where they have told him to make way or hold back just so Hamilton could win the race. Going into 2022, Bottas will start the season with a fresh mindset and a completely new challenge ahead of him. Working with his former boss Fred Vasseur at Alfa Romeo, Bottas will be in a safe space and look forward to proving all his doubters wrong.
