Bottas happy with Alfa Romeo
Bottas' experience is highly valued by Alfa Romeo, where he also plays a role as a mentor to Guanyu Zhou. "I enjoy taking a bigger part in the team than I've had before," the Finn said in conversation with Viaplay. "It's really rewarding when you see the results of your work."
Bottas is grateful for the time he had at Mercedes and the victories it allowed him to achieve, but has clearly found his niche in a completely different environment. Asked about his best teammate and his best, he replied: "The best? Lewis Hamilton, no doubt. The most fun? Guanyu, we have a lot of laughs."
He is also asked the comparison between his team bosses. As to whether he prefers his current team boss(Fred Vasseur) or his previous one (Toto Wolff), Bottas does not have to think for long. "I think Fred, he's a bit more relaxed," is the Finn's honest answer. Moreover, he has known Vasseur for longer. "With Fred I've done F3 for two years and we won the GP3 title together. Anything that Fred goes into, will eventually end up on top so hopefully that's gonna be the case here as well."
