Valtteri Bottas was satisfied with the qualifying result of the Italian GP.
For the first time since the summer break, he made it to the second stage of the time trial, and beat his teammate Zhou Guanyu.
In the results, the Finn was in 12th place, but after various drivers’ penalties, he gets to start on the 15th grid.
– The car has felt good. A balance has been found for it. Considering that, it’s good to see that we were pretty close to Q3. If there had been a little traction help, we might have gotten there, Bottas told Viaplay.
– The pace now seems to be a little better than in the last games.
Due to the upcoming grid penalty, Bottas’ car was already fitted with full race adjustments. That’s why beating a teammate is an excellent achievement.
– If we have enough speed, we can definitely get points. That’s a good goal for tomorrow. The direction is forward and upward.
