The Formula 1 season of 2020 is about to start with the double-header in Austria and Valtteri Bottas is happy about that. He mentions one team as a favourite, but is also a big fan of the Red Bull Ring himself.
The F1 season starts with two races in Spielberg, where Red Bull Racing first has two home races in Austria. For Bottas, however, it is also a well-known hunting ground. He was already on the podium with Williams in 2014, took pole in 2017 and 2018 and won the race in 2018. So the Finn is going to Austria with a lot of confidence.
Red Bull goes all-in
"Yes, this is definitely a good job for me," Bottas said during the 'Vodcast' of Sky Sports. ''I've taken several poles here and I've taken a win here, so I can handle it.'' Bottas missed by a hair after his first pole in Austria, when he was beaten in 2014 in qualifying by teammate Felipe Massa.
Bottas is looking forward to it, but who does he see as a favorite in Spielberg? ''Red Bull will of course all-in those two races on their own track, but we haven't seen anything since testing. I think that in Austria we can expect the same top three as normal, but who is in the lead and what the holes are is still unclear'', concludes the Mercedes driver.
