Russell: It's important to listen to Bottas' stories about working at Sauber
George Russell is going to learn from Valtteri Bottas, the new reserve driver of Mercedes, "secrets of Ferrari", because in the last three years the Finn played for Alfa Romeo/Sauber, and the cars of this team traditionally have Italian engines. Russell and Bottas in the past had a difficult relationship, including overshadowed by the accident at Imola in 2021, but at the end of that season Valtteri parted with Mercedes, and George took his place. Now the two have become colleagues and Bottas will have to watch from the sidelines to see how the team performs, with 18-year-old Kimi Antonelli making his debut this year. "Bottas has a huge amount of experience and when we have a professional joining us who has worked so hard on the simulator, who has such a deep racing knowledge and who knows our team well, it will be great! - RacingNews365 quoted Russell as saying. - It is also very important to listen to stories about his previous seasons in Sauber, after all, on the cars of this team are Ferrari engines. One should always carefully observe what others do, and Valtteri is distinguished by a comprehensive preparation. Of course, it is believed that in the past we had a bad relationship, but we are both professionals, and now everything is fine, we often traveled together and communicate when we meet in hotels or in the gym."
George has already started work at the base of the team in Brackley, but Valtteri as a reserve pilot is not bound by such strict obligations, so he has not yet returned to Europe from Australia, where he continues to pedal enthusiastically and takes part in cycling races, in particular, yesterday, along with 3 thousand other enthusiasts of this sport Bottas drove 124-kilometer distance of the next race on the gravel paths of the "green continent". And a couple of days ago he held a presentation of his Oath gin, the production of which is now established not only in Finland, but also in Australia.
