F1 vice champion names team he is happy to leave
Valtteri Bottas revealed which Formula 1 team he was happy to leave during his career.
The Finnish driver will return to F1 in 2026, driving Cadillac, after taking a break for the 2025 season, where he served as Mercedes’ reserve and third driver. He previously raced for Sauber (now Audi) but failed to score a single point in his final season in 2024.
In a recent interview with Cadillac’s new teammate Sergio Perez on Hot Ones Versus, the Mexican driver asked Bottas:
– Which of the five teams you played for did you want to leave the most?
– I am an honest person. Of course, there were different circumstances; How and why you left the team, different reasons. But to be honest… Although I still have good memories, I was happy to leave Sauber at the end of the season due to certain circumstances.
Before this, Valtteri raced for Williams, Mercedes and Alfa Romeo (later Sauber).
Bottas’ best results of his F1 career remain second place in the 2019 and 2020 seasons when he raced for Mercedes.

Lategan, who was 1 minute and 46 seconds ahead of Ekstrjom before the last checkpoint, had the chance to win the stage and become the leader in the general classification. However, he lost all his advantage in the 459 km distance between Riyadh and Wadi Ad-Dawasir due to shock absorber failure and finished only 13th, 8 minutes and 35 seconds behind Ekstrjom.
Ekstrom won the stage by 4 minutes and 27 seconds over Toyota driver Joao Ferreira, while his Ford teammate Mitch Guthrie finished third. Toyota’s Toby Price lost just six seconds on lap four, ahead of Dacia duo Lucas Moraes and Sebastien Loeb.
Implications for the general classification: Dacia driver Nasser Al-Attiyah maintained his lead by taking 11th place in the stage, but his advantage fell to 4 minutes and 47 seconds ahead of Ekstrjem, who is now his main pursuer. While Ford driver Nani Roma took the third place in the general classification, Lategan fell to the fourth place, 7 minutes and 21 seconds behind.

Italian sources say that the changes to the Ferrari SF-26 for the 2026 season could be good news for Lewis Hamilton.
The seven-time champion in his first season with the Scuderia could only reach the top step of the podium after the sprint in China; His teammate Charles Leclerc reached the podium seven times in 2025.
Despite the Monegasque’s relative success last season, both he and Hamilton have repeatedly criticized the SF-25. Pilots complained about problems with the steering wheel, unbalanced clutch and the chassis as a whole. At one stage in 2025, Leclerc described the car as “uncontrollable” at the Hungarian Grand Prix.
According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, Ferrari’s new 2026 car is designed primarily to solve last season’s key problems, including difficulties warming up tires and a chronic lack of grip in critical conditions.
Another plus for Hamilton is that the SF-26 is the first car he and former Mercedes technical director Loïc Serra had the opportunity to work on after joining Ferrari.
The team’s aim is to create a predictable and stable car that does not lose performance and remains controllable when grip levels on the track change. This is expected to have a positive impact on both Hamilton and Leclerc.
Hamilton’s age (41) means he is just a few seasons away from winning his eighth world title, so the success of the Ferrari SF-26 will be critical for the Briton.
