Things are repeating themselves. Similar to the first race of the season in Australia, the Finn once again won the race in the Far East. He left both Ferraris behind at the start and left no doubt as to who will be the winner of the Suzuki race until the end. Visibly relieved, he welcomed his (many) criticisms in his own style after the race: "Fuck you!"
The latter gathered quite a bit of material for the chase against Finc. Namely, Bottas celebrated his last victory until Suzuka on Grand Prix of Azerbaijan The end of april. From Baku onwards, he is a teammate of Hamilton defeated nine times in eleven possible attempts. The Finnish racer believes that everything will be different from Suzuka onwards.
Bottas is in an interview for Sky admitted that after the victory in Suzuki, a big stone fell from his heart: “I would almost use a few swear words again. The feeling is simply unique. A lot of people were of the opinion that I would give up in the second part of the season. All in all, it already seemed like something certain to them. I just want to tell everyone - Fuck you! " Currently second in the overall standings is also aware of: “If I ever want to beat Lewis in the overall standings, I have to beat him. Then there are others, so it won't be easy. "
“With this victory, I proved that nothing is impossible. I am aware that it will be extremely difficult to win the title this year, but I have not given up yet. And next season will be a new opportunity. I really missed that feeling after the win. Sometimes such results are necessary to raise self-confidence, so this victory came in handy, " the Finn celebrated his sixth victory.
With his victory on GP of Japan Bottas made a significant contribution to winning the sixth straight Mercedes design title, which, as he himself said, means a lot to him, and he is also happy for everyone involved in the production and preparation of the race cars.
The question still remains as to whether Bottas is in the forefront obedient team racer, or wakes up in it anyway sent for the title of champion? Sam deliberately answered this question in such a way that everything remains open: “I am what people want to believe I am. But I know for myself who I am. "
