The Race has learned that Alpine's executive advisor Flavio Briatore, who is
currently its de facto team principal, has approached Mercedes to discuss the
potential availability of its reserve driver.
While it is understood that discussions between Alpine and Mercedes over
Bottas have been very preliminary, and have not advanced towards a deal
definitely happening, they do suggest that Briatore is considering his driver
options amid Alpine's ongoing struggles.
Briatore已向賓士初步討論Bottas轉隊可能性
Sources suggest Mercedes would have no problem in letting Bottas take on an
F1 return with Alpine, especially as it will become a Mercedes customer team
from the start of next year.
賓士大概率會放人，尤其Alpine明年將成為賓士的客戶車隊
