F1 | Bottas: “I don't feel like number two”

The Finnish pilot declared that he felt part of the Mercedes and not to consider themselves a support for Lewis Hamilton.

The first part of the season Valtteri Bottas exceeded expectations, as, despite the car's potential, it was not easy to replace the new world champion, Nico Rosberg.

“I feel part of my team - declared the driver during today's press conference - and I can drive at my best level. Much still has to come.".

He is third in the world standings, 22 points behind his teammate and 23 points behind Sebastian Vettel. He won in Russia and Austria; he came second in Canada, Azerbaijan e England what if it wasn't for the break in Spain, perhaps he could be closer to the two contenders for the title.

“I always set myself high goals, I don't always expect to be behind Hamilton every time. I proved that I know how to fight.".

Regarding the weekend ofhungaroring, the Finn declared that he can fight for pole position and that considering the characteristics of the track, very similar to those of Monaco, the fight will be very close.
