Valtteri Bottas has signed for Alfa Romeo for the 2022 Formula 1 season, clearing the way for George Russell to be confirmed at Mercedes.
Bottas, 32, will effectively be replacing Finnish countryman Kimi Raikkonen, who retires at the end of the season, at Alfa Romeo after five seasons as Lewis Hamilton’s team-mate. Alfa Romeo say he has signed a multi-year deal.
Mercedes chiefs had spent F1’s August break deciding whether to re-sign Bottas for another year or promote Russell, their 23-year-old junior driver who has impressed at Williams and starred in a one-off appearance for them in place of Hamilton when the world champion was sidelined by Covid-19 last December.
