Bottas: “We are going in the right direction”

Everyone agrees that Valtteri Bottas succeeds in its debut Formula 1, showing himself to be the equal of Pastor Maldonado, even ahead of him on several occasions. But the Williams FW35 not being up to standard, the Finn is struggling to get into the top 10. In 10 Grands Prix, the Grove team has only achieved this once, in Hungary, thanks to the 10th place of his Venezuelan teammate. But the car British is progressing, Bottas knows it, and he is counting on it to stand out even more during the second half of the season. And why not this weekend in Spa, Belgium?

“I drove for the first time at Spa in 2007 in Formula Renault 2.0, and I immediately fell in love with this circuit, underlines the 23-year-old young man. Finding the right settings is a difficult mission due to the great diversity of the corners, and we will therefore try to gather as much information as possible during free practice to find the most appropriate set up for qualifying and the race. . I took a good break, and now I can't wait to get back in the car. We have shown some progression in our race pace in the last few Grands Prix, and we know we are heading in the right direction. We will therefore focus on scoring points again this weekend, which would allow us to get off to a good start to our second part of the season. »
