Valtteri Bottas reacts to Lewis Hamilton Mercedes return after George Russell stint

“It worked for me, I feel again like I’m full of energy for the new weekend. I’m in a place that I can perform so that’s amazing.

“I think every driver has their own ways to reset and get back up when you have a bad moment. Since Imola it’s been a run of really, really bad luck.

“I cannot remember the last time I was on the podium! I definitely feel I’ve not been performing at my best in the last three races but of course I still try and try to extract everything I can.

“There’re many factors in this sport, sometimes it’s luck, sometimes it’s what you do yourself in the car, outside the car.
