The Race has learned that Alpine's executive advisor Flavio Briatore, who is
currently its de facto team principal, has approached Mercedes to discuss the
potential availability of its reserve driver.
While it is understood that discussions between Alpine and Mercedes over
Bottas have been very preliminary, and have not advanced towards a deal
definitely happening, they do suggest that Briatore is considering his driver
options amid Alpine's ongoing struggles.

from the start of next year.
