"First of all, I'm very confident that I will be in Formula One next year. I have not thought of any other option," he told the Finnish broadcaster MTV. "Decisions affecting me have always happened after the summer break around September, so there's no rush and I'm not worried," Bottas added.
Bottas has said that he has been very much involved with his contract discussions, despite having Toto Wolff, Didier Coton, and Mika Hakkinen in his management team.
"For me, it's very easy to speak directly with the team and it's great to be more involved in my own career," he said. "The negotiations don't interfere with my driving in any way."
As previously reported, team mate Massa's Williams seat is also under threat.
The Brazilian veteran, says he is in talks regarding 2017 not only with the British team.
"Talks began some time ago, and not only with my current team," he said at Hockenheim.
"If it doesn't work and I can't find a team that can have good results, I can finish my formula one career," Massa admitted.
The Former Ferrari driver said that only if it is clear that he is leaving F1 will he begin to look at series outside of F1 fro next year.
