Valtteri Bottas has had his seat for the 2021 Formula One season measured. The Finn hopes to finally be able to compete with Lewis Hamilton in 2021, but his seat must be comfortable.
Bottas fits his Mercedes seat
A new video from Mercedes gives you a behind-the-scenes look at the factory of the seven-time world champions. Bottas is having a new seat fitted in the factory for the upcoming season when he will be hunting with Hamilton for an eighth world title for the team.
The seat seems to fit the Finn like a glove. There are still some small adjustments to be made here and there, but the start is good. Next, the steering wheel, headrest and helmet are added to complete the cockpit. With some measuring equipment, it should be perfect for the Finn the first time in the car.
