di Nina StefanelliNovember 11, 2017
Second place for Valtteri Bottas to Friday in Brazil. The pilot Mercedes he finished just 48 thousandths behind his teammate Hamilton, who reached the finish line first. Here are the Finnish driver's statements at the end of the day.
“I think it was a positive day for us. In Free Practice 1 we started with some aerodynamic testing, focusing on some aspects that we can improve for next season. We have collected some data to work with. I also think that as a team we did well in both the long run and the flying lap in both sessions: it's a good start to the weekend. What we lacked was the ideal set up to tackle every single corner of the circuit. Regardless, I love this track and can't wait for the weekend to get to the heart of things."
