After the controversy that arose in the last appointment in Mexico, Valtteri Bottas he is ready to get back on track for the GP of San Paolo, the fourth to last round of this year’s world championship. Moreover, for the Finnish the end of his experience in Mercedes, in which he had landed in 2017 to replace Nico Rosberg, who retired from F1 immediately after winning the title. For 2022, in fact, the number 77 will move to Alfa Romeo, also here to take the place of a rider ready to retire from competitions like compatriot Kimi Raikkonen.
Vice-champion of the world championship in 2019 and 2020, Bottas will therefore leave the German house with the regret of never having risen to the top of the world, despite having a car that would have allowed him a similar result: “For sure there is bitterness – commented the 32-year-old from Nastola during the last episode of the podcast Beyond The Grid – it has been your goal and your dream since you were a child ”.
“It was a purpose that I had well fixed in my head – he added – and pushed me to work hard. Every day, I do it to fulfill my goal, which is to be champion. Consequentially, there is a certain feeling of failure in failing to get behind the wheel of the Mercedes. But, at the same time, I tried everything and gave everything. Therefore – he concluded – it wasn’t meant to be. At least for now”.
