F1, Valtteri Bottas to the rescue of Lewis Hamilton: "It’s not easy"

Veteran Valtteri Bottas is experimenting with the decidedly unusual and never-before-experienced role of reserve driver for him. He will be so for a short time yet, considering that, in the coming year, he will be on the track again, as driver of the new Cadillac stable.

“It was very different from the last 12 years. It was nice to work with a team I had been with before, it was something natural but I missed racing. Every weekend, in my mind, I thought: I just want to get back in the car ma I am also learning a lot”, the sue words to Crash.ne.

The 36-year-old Finnish driver also dwelt on Lewis Hamilton, facing the worst season of his career in Ferrari. The two have been teammates, in Mercedes, for many years.

“I hope he will recover, but time will tell if he will. He has had good moments, and also some bad luck’ but it&#8217s not easy at all. It is not easy to change teams after so long in Mercedes, being practically the leader” the words of the’former teammate. In short, Valtteri Bottas to the rescue of the seven-time World Champion. Next year, on the track, he will not be so polite and respectful.
