Williams driver Valtteri Bottas has criticised those who fuelled rumours about his future claiming their were unfair and untrue.
Bottas has been linked to a drive with Ferrari all season, having rumours around the future of Kimi Raikkonen flared up by a non-committal response from Ferrari management. Although the rumours were laid to rest yesterday, some facts emerged in the meantime, with Williams open they had been approached to release the Finn for next season.
“It has been unnecessary because most of it has been untrue, it hasn’t done my relationship with the team any good. Those type of rumours are not fair.
“It’s easier now for me, for Williams and for Kimi now there are just facts and no rumours and l think this proves that what a lot of what was said was rumour. Nothing has changed for me.”
Talking about his contract for next year, he is said to be in talks with Williams, of which the team has an option on him that they would like to keep.
“As a driver you want to know as soon as you can. It will be nice to know but there is also no mega-rush.
“For next year we are still discussing, so there is no confirmation on that. I feel like l have done a good job with the car. I want to be in a quicker car but l think for next year we can do with it Williams if l stay here.”
