The Finnish driver scored 10 points all season as Alfa Romeo struggled in the second year of the ground effects era, despite good progress.
Valtteri Bottas expressed his disappointment with the progress made by Alfa Romeo in 2023, stating that it was steady but not enough. He scored only 10 points and finished 15th in the standings, the worst performance since his rookie season in 2013. Despite consistent upgrades throughout the year, the team couldn’t make significant progress like other teams such as Aston Martin, McLaren, and Williams did.

However, he is optimistic about the team’s efforts to think outside the box and work with new people in the future.
