Valtteri Bottas has confirmed he has spoken to Toto Wolff about a potential return to Mercedes, but it would make “sense” to him “only if it was a lot more than a one-year contract”.
After it was announced that Lewis Hamilton will leave Mercedes at the end of 2024, Valtteri Bottas’ name soon came up as a potential replacement.
It’s of course not at all surprising considering the fact that the Finn has driven for the team for 2017 until the end of 2021, when he was replaced by George Russell.
However, Valtteri says a return to Mercedes would only make sense to him if it was a long-term contract.
“Only if it was a lot more than a one-year contract,” he said.

“If it was a one-year deal, then it wouldn’t make sense for me. But, for long-term, of course there could be a discussion.”
Asked if he had already spoken to Mercedes team boss Toto Wolff about a potential return, Valtteri said:
“We have spoken, we have a good relationship.
“But one year at Mercedes, it wouldn’t make much sense to me,” he concluded.
