Interviewed by the international press at the end of Friday, Valtteri Bottas spoke about the result obtained by Mercedes in yesterday's free practice, underlining how the fight with Ferrari, here in Montreal, will be extremely close, especially if the Red were to improve the balance of the SF90 over the course of FP3.
According to the Mercedes Finn, in fact, the world champion team still has a lot of work to do in terms of settings, given that the changes made in free practice 2 did not give all the desired results, at least in terms of feeling.
So the last hour of work scheduled today will become fundamental, with Mercedes and Ferrari ready to fight for a much needed and strongly desired pole position.
