Valtteri Bottas has won twice at the
Sochi Autodrom in Russia. His team
Mercedes won every race there. Looking ahead to the race, the Finn thinks his chances are good.
Sochi no favourite for Bottas
The Mercedes number two has already won twice on the Russian track and had to hand over a sure victory to
Lewis Hamilton for the championship on a third occasion. The Russian track is not Bottas' favourite after all.
Thus he says to
Formule1.com at the
FIA press conference,
"This is not necessarily my favourite circuit, that's Suzuka."Mercedes good on paper
Bottas continued: "On paper it doesn't look bad for us. We have been competitive at fast circuits, like Monza, but nothing is guaranteed. It will be exciting. We want to maximise the number of points of course, this is a good moment. We want to win here."
