Valtteri Bottas hopes that a turn for the better will take place next race weekend, in the Hungarian GP in two weeks.
Valtteri Bottas The World Cup season has been as dark as the sky at Silverstone on Sunday during the rainy British GP of the Formula 1 World Series.
After just under an hour and a half of driving, Bottas’ reward for his effort was 15th place and zero World Championship points. The same had been the tone in the previous 11 gp of the season.
Bottas has never been in his comfort zone at an F1 start. Even after the start at Silverstone, the opening lap was difficult.
– The start and the first corners were ok, but then we were pushed wide in the fourth corner, so I fell behind, recalled Bottas, who started the race from the 16th grid.
He hopes that the turn for the better will take place next race weekend, at the Hungarian GP in two weeks. Inefficient Sauber needs technical tuning.
– We have some new parts and updates coming soon, I hope.
Haas, who has been modestly successful in the Formula 1 World Series in recent years, set an encouraging example for smaller teams when the German champion Nico Hulkenberg brought his driver to the checkered flag in sixth at Silverstone.
– Haas showed that you can take a significant step forward with the car’s new body and new floor, Bottas said.
