Valtteri Bottas: Kimi managed to impress
Valtteri Bottas raced with the support of Toto Wolff, but he only achieved his first victory at twenty-seven – eight years later than Kimi Antonelli. The Finnish driver is happy for the success of the young Italian competing for Mercedes...
Valtteri Bottas: "I was happy when Kimi got his first win. I thought it was just a matter of time, considering the speed of the car that Mercedes has this year. Kimi had a great weekend – very good qualifying, very good race – and the first win, then a second.
Antonelli has learned a lot and has grown tremendously. He is still very young and gaining experience every weekend, but I expected serious progress from him between the first and second seasons – and we saw it. It's great that he really achieved this. I congratulated him on this success. Kimi made a great impression at the start of his second season!"
