Formula 1 star Valtteri Bottas insists his decision to join Alfa Romeo ahead of the 2022 season was ultimately driven by his desire to try something new. The Finn left Mercedes to make way for George Russell, while Bottas replaces compatriot Kimi Raikkonen after the 2007 world champion retired from the sport.

Before deciding to join Alfa Romeo, Bottas also held talks with his former team Williams.

The British team gave Bottas his chance in F1 back in 2013, and he impressed during his four seasons at the team.

He joined Mercedes ahead of the 2017 season as a replacement for the retiring world champion Nico Rosberg.

Instead of returning to familiar surroundings at Grove, Bottas opted to for a stint with Alfa, whose team principal Fred Vasseur previously worked with the Finn in both F3 and GP3.
