Summary

  • Monaco media day brought a blunt denial from Valtteri Bottas, who said reports that his Cadillac seat was under threat were false and that the team supports him "100 percent."
  • Last week's speculation had questioned his standing at Cadillac, but Bottas said both sides know his situation and framed the story as fabricated noise rather than a real internal issue.
