Valtteri Bottas

2023 Fantasy Outlook
In his first year with the Alfa Romeo squad Bottas captured 49 points and finished 10th in the standings. It was his first season without a podium finish since he joined the series in 2013, though. The Alfa Romeo squad was not able to develop their cars as much as some other contenders and Bottas lost ground in the championship positions as a result. His best results of the season came within the first nine races. Reliability also plagued him with five DNFs in the last 13 races compared to just one in those first nine. As a Formula One veteran with 10 career wins Bottas is certainly not a driver to sleep on in 2023, however. If the current pattern holds, he should be expected to get the most out of the car early in the year, but he and the team will need to continue getting more speed out of their 2023 car through the remainder of the season to finish higher in the standings than they did in 2022.

Finishes 14th in Mexico

October 31, 2024
Bottas finished 14th in the Mexican Grand Prix F1 race at Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez on Sunday.
ANALYSIS
Bottas had one of his stronger weekends of the season, an indication of how poor his Kick Sauber is relative to the rest of the field. He reached Q2 for the first time since the Belgian Grand Prix and did a decent job of holding track position while running a long opening stint on hard tires. While he was passed on the final lap by Esteban Ocon, this still marked his best finish since the Canadian Grand Prix in early June.
