F1 News
On the back of his performance in Spain, Valtteri Bottas is confident he pull out a good result and is fully focused on qualifying ahead of the Monaco Grand Prix this weekend.
Bottas was satisfied with the performance of his Mercedes car in sector 3 of the Spanish Grand Prix which he hopes will put him in good stead for the Monaco Grand Prix.
“Obviously from Barcelona, Sector 3 with slow corners, it’s promising.”
Bottas finished fifth in Monaco last season and has never been on the podium in Monte Carlo. He recently said, he’s never had a car capable of competing but he’s hopeful that can change for this year’s edition.
“I would just hope that we have a good car there because it would be such a unique race to be fighting for the win, or win it.
“I’ve actually never been on the podium there so it’s something I really look forward to.
“I live just next to the start-finish line so it would be nice to have a good car there.”
The Finn is aiming to replicate his good qualifying session from Spain which saw him win the pole position.
“I’ll definitely focus 100% of the weekend for the qualifying performance and being absolutely on it in Qualifying 3, like here,” Bottas added.
