Mercedes team boss Toto Wolff announces that he is fully behind his driver Valtteri Bottas. The Finn has already been under pressure for a number of Grands Prix and that only got worse when George Russell joined the team last week, and outperformed him.
Support from Mercedes
"He is a strong, resilient man," says Wolff on Bottas at the Sued Deutsche Zeitung. According to Wolff, Bottas' loss of performance has mainly to do with losing the world title to teammate Lewis Hamilton.
"But he has the unconditional support within the team, and I think it makes him more excited to win from year to year," the Austrian team boss continues. "I think he is able to pick himself up."
