The catchphrase has been adopted by Bottas on social media as he ponders the inevitabl🎐e end to his Formula 1 career.

Sauber have opted to sign F💞ormula 2 driver Gabriel Bortoleto, alongside current Haas driver Nic😼o Hulkenberg, for 2025.

That includes a recent Iron Man triathlon (a 3.8km swim, 180km bike ride and a 42.2k marathon💙) completed inside his own home because “I wanted to prove that I could do it”.

The exiting F1 driver showed Sky Sports his n🐻ew tattoo in Las Vegas: “What is next? That’s the question. That is why I committed.

“I didn’t have ꦇany tattoos but I thoug🐓ht this was a good one.

“In this phase of my li▨fe, something is about to finish. There is something new coming.

“What’s next? That is what people should ask themselves, and f𒆙in🍸d the answer.

“For what’s next, I am in no 💙rush to get into an๊ything.

“I need to look at all the opportunities for w🦋hat’s best for me, looking some years ahead to have different paths from 2026 onwards, whether that is for Formula 1 or something else.

“But no𒈔w looking back? If💫 that’s it, I can be proud.

“I alಞways gave it all that I had. Thaꦏt’s the main thing. No regrets.

“Life is not all about driving in circles in a race car. There needs to be other things✅.

“It doesn’t mean that I don’t take this sport seꩲriously, because I definitely do. It is my passion. I give everything for it.

“But at the same time when ꦆI’m off, I have some fun…”

Bottas has been linked with a return to Mercedes as a reserve☂ driver.

He has been less keen on a switch of series, for exam🌠ple into IndyCar, for the 2025 season indicating that he might plot a route back into F1 for 2026 when the regulations change.
