The Finnish striker has found his early season mojo.

Will Mercedes win a single race this season?
Few believe it, but the Silver Arrow wants to put a bone in the throat of its doubters. In the finishing practice of the Mexican GP George Russell and Lewis Hamilton occupied the Kärkisijas of the exercises like in the olden days.
It is more than possible that the Red Bulls and Ferraris were not at their best yet, but in any case, Mercedes’ pace is on point this weekend.
The same can happily be said as well From Valtteri Bottas. Alfa Romeo’s Finnish driver has found his early season fine tune with the new upgrade parts. Nastolain was eighth in the triples.
Alfa Romeo desperately needs points to keep the sixth place in the manufacturer’s championship within the team’s reach. Aston Martin has crept to within three points.
Bottas’ crash in the previous race may have actually saved the ranking, and millions of euros, for Alfa Romeo.
The time trials start at 11 pm Finnish time, suitable for Saturday night owls.

Valtteri Bottas is looking for a good investment in Mexico. PDO
