It was confirmed yesterday (29/8/19) that Mercedes will retain Valtteri Bottas for the 2020 Formula 1 season alongside Current Formula 1 Champion Lewis Hamilton.
Bottas joined the team from Williams in 2017 as a late replacement for Nico Rosberg and claimed five victories in those three seasons so far.
He currently holds second place in the Drivers' standings, seventy-two points behind team-mate Lewis Hamilton with nine races to go.
Overall, a very good decision from Mercedes to keep Valtteri Bottas for another season. Although, they could have promoted Esteban Ocon instead, Ocon is off to Renault for next season meaning the Mercedes hierarchy are happy enough for Bottas to stay for another season at least.
