Bottas says future looks ’positive’

Valtteri Bottas is still not ready to confirm that he is staying at Williams in 2017.

It is now widely believed that Williams will line up next year with Canadian rookie Lance Stroll alongside team regular and Finn Bottas.

"I do not have anything new to inform," Bottas told Turun Sanomat newspaper at Sepang.

"The only thing I emphasise is that all is well — everything is positive."

And he did not want to comment on the rumours about Stroll, whose father is the fashion billionaire Lawrence Stroll.
