Bottas: “A thousandth is nothing”

Valtteri Bottas he must "break away" from his teammate once again, and leave the front row to Hag, this time for just one thousandth. The pilot of the Mercedes will thus start behind the leading pair, and to the side of Kimi Raikkonen in Chinese GP. Bottas, Stuttgart's new signing, will try to redeem his colleague in China Maranello, which for now continues to stand between him and the leader of the Star Lewis Hamilton.

“In the end, a thousandth is nothing, and it's really a shame that Sebastian managed to come between us,” he commented, bitter but confident. Bottas. “The race is tomorrow anyway and as a team we start from first and third position: it's not bad. Furthermore, with tomorrow's unpredictable weather conditions, anything can happen."

“Lewis was strong as was the Ferrari; However, right from the start we expected a very close battle on the track and I believe that this will happen again tomorrow. Thanks so much to the team once again, we did a great job in the very little time we had to test. The car has been set up very well and is pleasant to drive, but we'll see what happens tomorrow,” concluded the Finn Mercedes.
