  "account": "Valtteri Bottas, the Finnish racing driver, has reaffirmed his intention to remain with Cadillac in the upcoming Formula One season, despite rumors suggesting his departure. Bottas, who has taken part in 265 Grands Prix and secured ten victories, expressed surprise at the volume of speculation surrounding his future. Speaking after completing 15th in the opening practice session at the Sao Paulo Grand Prix, Bottas stated that he was unaware of any dissatisfaction from the team regarding his performance. He noted that all reports he had received indicated the team's satisfaction with his efforts. Bottas, who joined Cadillac as a multi-year contractee for the team's inaugural season, emphasized that he had adhered to the team's directives throughout the year. Given the multi-year contract and the team's inaugural year, any questioning of his performance would be unusual, according to Bottas. Currently, Cadillac stands 11th and last in the constructors' championship standings without recording a point. The team has confirmed Perez, his team-mate, for the next season and extended his contract.",
