Bottas confident Mercedes are recovering well after slow start to testing

Mercedes experienced the first problem-free session of this winter test on Sunday morning. Valtteri Bottas was able to do a lot of laps. Bottas said afterwards that they have made up for this, although they are not 100 percent satisfied yet.

According to Bottas you never are at the beginning of the season, you always have to work hard to appear optimal at the start. It helps that you can then work through your entire test schedule. " I feel we are recovering well," he said as quoted by Formule1.nl.

"Saturday we did 95% of what we had hoped for, Sunday morning 100%. I'm happy with that."
