Bottas set for Williams deal with get out clause

Valtteri Bottas is not revealing much about his plans for next season, but the smart money is on the Finn remaining with Williams with teenager Lance Stroll in the garage next to him.

El Mundo Deportivo are reporting that Bottas and Williams are in the process of dotting the i's and crossing the t's on a deal that will see Bottas at Grove for at least two more years, but he is insisting on a get out clause should Mercedes, Red Bull or Ferrari come calling.

Bottas told MTV, "Maybe I know what I'm doing, maybe I don't. In any case, the time is getting closer."

And added, "I don't want to say. I hope that soon, everything will be 100 per cent ready."

Bottas is also being linked with a possible move to Renault.
