F1 | Bottas: “We are ready to fight with Ferrari!”

Second row behind his teammate Hamilton for Valtteri Bottas, who will start in third position tomorrow's race, with Ricciardo's Red Bull at his side. The Mercedes driver, who in the last two races has always prevailed ahead of the British four-time world champion, hopes to redeem himself after the missed victory in Bahrain, repeating the excellent result achieved on this track in 2017. In Baku, moreover, he can anything always happens... Here are the words of the Finn at the end of the day.

“We can definitely fight with Ferrari tomorrow, we are there with both cars and it has never happened until now since the start of the season. We will start very close and the race here can be really crazy: we are ready for the fight! Last year I was a lap behind at the start and then I finished second at the end, so anything can happen, but at least this year we will start from a good position."

“As Lewis said, we made good progress compared to yesterday, and the final result today was much better compared to what we thought we could do today. We are still looking for the right path for the set-up: in Free Practice 3 we certainly improved it a lot for qualifying. The session was pretty linear, so it wasn't difficult to put the lap together. In the second sector I was missing something, but the result was decent and both cars are in an excellent position to fight for the victory."
