F1 | Mercedes, Bottas: “I found serenity after the agreement with Alfa”

Valtteri Bottas is experiencing an excellent period of form. Already a star in Monza, with the victory in the Sprint Race and the comeback from the back of the grid to third place, the driver from Nastola literally dominated in Turkey, dominating the GP and returning to a victory that had been missing for almost a year.

Valtteri commented on his recent performances in this way, admitting that – despite the lack of confirmation by Mercedes and the farewell to Brackley after five seasons – having reached an agreement with Alfa Romeo Sauber has given him back a certain tranquility, thus allowing him to concentrate exclusively on driving.

“To be honest I've always had confidence in myself, but it's nice to win a GP and remind myself that I have the qualities to win races – Bottas' words to Motorsport.com - It had been a while. To tell the truth, however, since Monza I felt much better, more relaxed and was able to concentrate exclusively on driving, this serenity certainly helps. There is always a good atmosphere in the team, we work hard and we are very motivated to win again this year."
