It's silly season for 2021 rumours as Bottas is being linked with a return to Williams and Mercedes are lining up... George Russell.
The coronavirus-hit Formula One season will finally get underway with the Austrian Grand Prix on July 5, the Austrian government announced Saturday.
The race at the Red Bull Ring in Spielberg will be the first of an F1 double-header, with the second being staged the following weekend.

The 2020 Azerbaijan, Singapore and Japanese Grands Prix have been cancelled in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic, Formula 1 has confirmed.
Earlier this month the opening eight races of a revised calendar for the 2020 season were announced, beginning with the Austrian Grand Prix at the Red Bull Ring in the first weekend of July.
Since then F1 have continued to work hard to finalise the remaining calendar for the season, and are confident of having between 15-18 races by the time the season concludes in Abu Dhabi in mid-December. A new calendar is expected to be published before the season begins in Austria.
But today it was confirmed that the Azerbaijan, Singapore and Japanese races will not be part of the calendar for 2020.

Days away from the (curtailed) season opener.....
Business as usual for the best driver in the world.
Austrian Grand Prix: Reigning F1 Champion Lewis Hamilton Fastest In Both PracticesFormula One world champion Lewis Hamilton posted the fastest time in the first two practice sessions for the season-opening Austrian Grand Prix on Friday.
The British driver twice finished ahead of his Mercedes teammate Valtteri Bottas on the 4.3-kilometer (2.7-mile) Red Bull Ring circuit in Spielberg nestled at the foot of the Styrian mountains in southern Austria.
Bottas was .356 seconds behind Hamilton in the damp and overcast morning run and improved to .197 back as the track dried and became warmer in the afternoon. Late in that session, however, he had to return to the pits because of a braking issue.
Red Bull driver Max Verstappen, who has won the past two races here, was third quickest in the first practice but slipped to eighth in the second session and encountered oversteering problems.
Ferrari struggled for speed in the morning with Charles Leclerc 10th quickest and Sebastian Vettel only 12th, but improved in the afternoon with Vettel pushing up to fourth behind Sergio Perez in third. Perez's Racing Point team uses Mercedes engines.
Although Vettel showed good cornering speed, he was still a somewhat distant .657 seconds adrift of Hamilton's time in the second session.
Ferrari is racing with the same car it used in preseason testing in February and has not made any upgrades, while Mercedes and other teams have.
After making a late strategy decision in terms of aerodynamic development this week, Ferrari is not upgrading its cars until the third race in Hungary, where practice starts on July 17.
Austria is hosting back-to-back races as part of an eight-race European swing, after the season was postponed for four months because of the coronavirus pandemic.
There are no fans allowed at races until further notice.
Red Bull have lodged an appeal against the Mercedes DAS system.
If it is upheld, Mercedes will simply remove it.

Nice to see the boys/lads back on the track. Fuck this covid shit.
Looks like Grumpy is going to fuck up Ferrari's constructors chances until they pay him off.
Hammy should have been in the gym not at those BLM protests.
Bottas made a bit of a pigs ear of that last lap!
What a fucking race to start with. And we're back there next week!
First podium for Lando, I reckon he'll drink more of the bubbly than he sprays.
Hammy won't want to watch that again.
7 retirements, tyres flying, and Mad Max sat through most of it.
Here's to more of that.
