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

Audi arrives in 2026. Bottas doesn't have a contract for next year(2025). Is he going to take a break?

Audi already owns Stake, they can choose, I think it is going to be an easy 3 year contract with Audi, 2025 at Stake, 2026-2027 (maybe 2028) at Audi

he's one of the three drivers I expect to replace Hamilton at Mercedes. (The other two being Alonso and Vettel).

Vettel? I don't think he's coming back.

Lewis at Ferrari vs Vettel at Mercedes would be funny though.

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.
