The Finn has returned to F1 with Cadillac – but it has been a slow start thus far.
Valtteri Bottas has accepted Cadillac’s slow start to the season as part of his agreement with the team, acknowledging the team’s main car weakness.
Cadillac currently sits in 10th place in the standings after four races, with Bottas’s 13th place finish in China being the team’s best result so far.
Bottas expressed that he was prepared for challenging times when he signed his contract to return to the grid, highlighting the areas where the MAC-26 chassis is struggling.
He stated that despite the team’s struggles, there are hidden areas where they are making progress in improving their pace, especially in high-to-medium speed corners.
Although Bottas admitted there is still some inconsistency in the upgrades, he remains optimistic about the team’s performance going forward, particularly in the upcoming race in Montreal.
