Confirmed: Mercedes retains Valtteri Bottas for 2018

It was confirmed this lunch-time (13/9/17) that Mercedes will retain Valtteri Bottas for the 2018 Formula 1 season alongside Lewis Hamilton.



Bottas joined the team from Williams in January as a replacement for Current F1 World Champion Nico Rosberg and claimed victories in Russia and Austria.



He currently holds third place in the Drivers' standings, forty-one points behind team-mate Lewis Hamilton with seven races to go.

Overall, a very good decision from Mercedes to keep Valtteri Bottas for another season. An impressive first season at Mercedes, although next season he might have a better change to win the Drivers' Championship next season.
