Report: Bottas denies signing pre-contract deal with Scuderia Ferrari
Bottas dismisses Ferrari pre-contract speculation but confirms that he's a free agent for 2016
Williams Martini Racing Formula One (F1) driver Valterri Bottas has denied signing a pre-contract agreement with Scuderia Ferrari for the 2016 season.
In a report by Sky Sports, Bottas claimed that he has not signed a deal with the Scuderia Ferrari F1 team but, the Finn confirmed that his current contract with Williams will expire at the end of this year.
To shed more light, Bottas told reporters ahead of this weekend's Spanish Grand Prix that he's humored by the said report.
“I saw some of the stories and sometimes they are quite funny to hear about because I know what the case is and what isn’t. There are a lot of people making up stuff. The fact is at the moment l am just focusing this season and getting the maximum for us at the team. The rest, I don’t know yet,” Bottas said.
Bottas was one of the drivers who had a great 2014 F1 season, finishing fourth in the championship behind Infiniti Red Bull Racing's Daniel Ricciardo.
