#1 Bottas repays Mercedes’ faith
Having qualified on the front row behind Sebastian Vettel, Valtteri Bottas would be looking to get a good start off the line to launch himself into the contention for the win. The Finnish driver has recently signed a deal with Mercedes, elongating his contract with the team for another year, at the minimum.
Bottas would be looking for opportunities to repay the faith shown in him by the Silver Arrows. The German Grand Prix could provide him with enough chances to turn around the substandard season the 28-year-old has endured so far.
It would be interesting to see whether the Finn can maximise his gains this weekend.
