Bottas: Slow turns and thin air at F1 Mexico GP key to Alfa Romeo promise
Valtteri Bottas and his teammate Zhou Guanyu both qualified for Q3, with Bottas starting ninth and Zhou starting 10th. This gives their team a strong chance to score valuable points in the tightly contested battle among the four teams at the bottom of the constructors’ championship. Bottas expressed his disappointment with his final run in qualifying but acknowledged that it was still the team’s best result since Hungary. He attributed the competitiveness of their car in Mexico to the slow speed nature of the track and the reduced drag effect in the thin air. Bottas emphasized the importance of converting their qualifying result into points, especially as they face competition from Williams and Daniel Ricciardo’s AlphaTauri.
