Watch: Preparations for 2020 F1 season well underway as Bottas has seat fitted

Even before Christmas and New Year, Mercedes have their efforts fully focused on the 2020 Formula 1 season. The champions are well ahead of time and have already fitted Valtteri Bottas' seat for next season. This video below shows the Finnish driver talking about his seat fitting as he aims to get comfortable.

Again, Bottas will need to fight hard for his contract at Mercedes. He was able to push Lewis Hamilton in the early part of 2019 but just couldn't hang on through the European stretch of races. For sure, Bottas will come out firing again but the winter momentum went to his teammate as Hamilton won the final race of the year.
