Athletistic/ Formula 1. “Alfa Romeo” driver Valtteri Bottas summed up the results of the race at Imola as part of the next stage of Formula 1.

“It was quite fun, I attacked almost every lap. In the middle of the race we showed a very good pace. In the last laps, when I started to approach Russell, the rear right started to grit Russell and Mercedes motivated me to hunt at Imola once, it didn’t work out a bit, but maybe another time,” summed up the Finn.

Bottas played for Mercedes last season. George Russell has now taken his place. At Imola, Bottas finished fifth, a fraction of a second behind Russell.
