F1 | Bottas: “We struggled. We want to be competitive both for qualifying and for the race."

Valtteri Bottas comments on his Friday free practice at Russian Grand Prix, finished in 2nd and 3rd place in the two free practices in the morning and afternoon.

“We struggled a bit to find the right temperatures. It was a different Friday than usual, the asphalt and track are different. I had problems making the tires work in the first laps and trying to improve their performance is the key to hitting the front row".

For the race simulation, the Finn's Mercedes performed better: “We also want to be strong for qualifying. Now we will analyze all the data and see how to proceed. Ferraris? They made a good impression on this day, let's see how it goes in the race: this year the fight will always be like this throughout the season so we always expect it."
