Sauber have confirmed neither Valtteri Bottas nor Zhou
Guanyu will continue with the team next season, that followed by a cryptic
“who’s ready to know” post on X.
Sauber will
field an all-new driver line-up next season, Nico Hulkenberg to be partnered by
a still unconfirmed driver with Gabriel Bortoleto said to be the frontrunner.

After much speculation over the course of the Brazilian
Grand Prix weekend where various sources reported Bortoleto had signed with the
team but that they’d held off on confirming him given the intense reaction
expected from the Brazilian fans, the team has officially confirmed Bottas and
Zhou’s exits.
“After open and constructive discussions with Valtteri
Bottas and Zhou Guanyu, we mutually concluded that conditions to continue
together could not be met so we agreed that it is time to part ways,” Sauber
said in a statement.
“We would like to thank both for the contribution they have made to the team in the last three years. They have been the embodiment of professionalism, using their experience and enthusiasm to support our growth.”
