F1 | Alfa Romeo, Bottas: “We failed our objectives”

Valtteri Bottas it's not very subtle. After two more insufficient tests of theAlfa Romeo Sauber, out of the points in both Austria and Silverstone, and after the situation in England did not improve despite the introduction of updates to the C43 single-seater, the Scandinavian driver effectively invited the team to start concentrating all resources on 2024, considering that the balance of power in this championship already seems to have crystallized. Bottas admits that the team has not reached the desired level. Sauber is currently ninth in the Constructors' Championship, a distant relative of the team that finished sixth in 2022.

“Certainly with the latest news we have taken a step forward, but so have the other teams – Bottas explained to Motorsprt.com -. In the next two summer races we won't have any other new pieces, we'll talk about it after the summer. We are actually halfway through the season and so far we have not been able to raise our level. At some point we will have to start thinking just about next year, that's something we will have to decide soon. We expected to be stronger than in 2022, but in reality we are not reaching the objectives set."
