🗣️'Last year, testing wasn't so much fun, so we're in a good place after three days.' Valtteri Bottas says Alfa Romeo 'stepped up as a team' compared to last year after a successful F1 pre-season test in Bahrain ⬇️
At last year's first Barcelona test, the Alfa Romeo team was hit by various reliability issues, a trend which continued to persist throughout the season.
"I feel like we've stepped up as a team in terms of the quality of the car, we have had fewer issues by this point.As well as reliability, Bottas says the Sauber-run team has addressed the 2022 car's high-speed instability, its other main weakness. "It's really nice to drive, so it's a good starting point, for sure. I think I only had like one little lock-up in one full day."The Finn hopes an improved balance between high and low-speed behaviour will widen set-up options as the team won't have to make so many compromises.
