Valtteri Bottas is among the most experienced and decorated drivers on the grid. So, with the Finn’s three-year deal expiring at the end of the season, what’s lies ahead?

Audi, why I think he is there at stake in the first place. They will be a new-ish team and needs a safe, level headed, consistent well rounded driver in the beginning, who might not be a Leclerc or Verstappen but has experience and can help develop a car to the front of the pack. Then they can get those gem of gems driver that can extract 110% and start winning championships
Given that Alonso is allegedly blocked by Daimler and Vettel is done with F1, I believe what they wanted to say is at they don't expect these drivers to replace Hamilton.
Alonso is teetering to retirement. Seb is retired. I agree that Merc would pickup Bottas, it just makes sense. But, I think they're going to hold out for a while to see what comes up.

What sense? He was a good #2 when Mercedes was dominating, but today they aren't. Mercedes needs someone who can perform, and Bottas can't even outperform Zhou, who isn't in this sport on merit.
