Valtteri Bottas replaces Nico Rosberg at Mercedes

The wait is over. Valtteri Bottas will be the one to replace Nico Rosberg at the Mercedes team, making him Lewis Hamilton's teammate.

Bottas has competed in 77 races and has achieved nine podiums without a win.

"My goal for the first few days is to get all the possible points for the team, I guarantee that I will give everything I can," were the first words of the driver.

Regarding Hamilton, he expressed the respect he has for him and assured that "we can be close and work together for the team."

The signing of the star team led to a domino effect with Felipe Massa's return to Williams and Pascal Wehrlein's arrival at Sauber.
