Possibly just the enjoyment of racing with no pressure...
Mercedes won’t have him because of Spygate.
Ferrari won’t have him because he pushed like crazy to be released from his contract in 2014.
Red Bull won’t have him because of ‘GP2 engine’ Honda, and because they doggedly refuse to recruit from outside their dreadful Young Drivers programme anyway.
He can’t get a competitive drive in Indycar because of the bad blood with Honda.
Renault is the only door which isn’t firmly closed for him...
Genuinely one of the best ever, in my opinion. Rotten luck and Latin temperament are his downfall. In another universe he got the Mercedes seat instead of Hamilton.
Glad to see him back but he'll definitely be an also-ran. Not his fault, just F1 is the sport of also-rans.
All I can see is vague legally irrelevant mentions of a "pre-agreement" letter which is nothing more than a promise to think about it.

Ha, ha!
Seriously, that was a wild guess based on Alonso being desperate to climb back into an F1 car and not actually needing the money to do so. Not sure anything has been confirmed, unless I've missed something?
Red Bull and Renault both have one seat each open; Red Bull seem happy with having an unambitious second driver who doesn’t give Verstappen any trouble, so as long as Albon doesn’t disgrace himself he should be fine.
Anyway, here’s the original in all its glory.

Seems he could be getting annoyed with the 1 season at a time thing

In any case, it’s unsurprising that Bottas is putting his feelers out. Especially with Ocon and Russell breathing down his neck as well from within the Merc camp.
The yard is nothing but a fence, the sun just hurts my eyes...
Toto would be mad not to take him - it’s marketing gold and Hamilton will probably win. And I don’t think Lewis would be remotely scared - he beat 3 other WDC guys as teammates - Jenson, Fernando and Nico. This would be an opportunity to beat a 4-time champion in the same car. How many drivers get that chance?
I’d love to see it, and for Merc it’s low risk since as soon as either driver quits they bring Russell in and keep winning.

The Woking-based company is to slash 1,200 jobs as it reels from the impact of Covid-19. McLaren has been particularly hard hit because the pandemic has halted the Formula 1 racing season, which accounts for a large chunk of its earnings.
A spending cap introduced by Formula 1's ruling body has also contributed to the job losses, the company said.
McLaren said redundancies will be spread across its automotive, racing and technology arms, with back-office and support staff also affected.
The restructuring comes after it emerged that the privately owned business had asked the Government for a £150m loan to help it get through the crisis.
The bailout was turned down, with the business told it had not exhausted all alternative forms of financial support.
