Formula 1 News: Backmarker Bottas insists he is staying at Cadillac for 2027

Valtteri Bottas, 36, has firmly stated he will remain on the Formula 1 grid in 2027, insisting his contract with Cadillac is secure despite ongoing speculation about his future. The Finn acknowledged that Cadillac has endured a difficult debut season, with the team being the only one in the pitlane without a single point, and noted issues with car assembly and reliability. Rumors have been circulating that IndyCar star Colton Herta could replace either Bottas or underperforming teammate Sergio Perez, but Bottas dismissed speculation, saying the team supports him 100 percent.
