Key facts

Story
  • Cadillac CEO Dan Towriss said Valtteri Bottas could keep his seat, calling it "absolutely" a scenario.
  • Towriss said the push behind Colton Herta does not rule out Bottas staying on the team.
  • Sergio Perez has been tied down to a long-term deal, Towriss told RACER.

Cadillac Formula 1 Team CEO Dan Towriss said Valtteri Bottas could keep his seat for the team, even as speculation grows that Colton Herta will replace him.

Towriss told RACER that interest in Herta does not rule out Bottas staying on. He said it is "absolutely" a scenario in which the Finn keeps his drive. The comments came after Cadillac signed Sergio Perez to a long-term contract.

Rumours about Bottas's future

The Finnish driver had already addressed intense speculation over his future with the team. Rumours linking Herta to a Cadillac seat have built over recent weeks. Neither source gives details of any offer or talks involving Herta, and the team has not confirmed any change to its line-up.

For F1 fans in India, the question is who will sit alongside Perez next season. A change at Cadillac would also affect how closely the team's new line-up is followed across the country.

The team has not said when it will confirm its driver pairing for the coming season. Bottas and Herta have not been quoted directly on the latest talks.
