Valtteri Bottas’ future at Mercedes may have been questioned by pundits after the Bahrain GP, but Johnny Herbert says the Finn is “absolutely” what Mercedes want from their second driver.
Bottas did not have a good start to the 2021 championship, unable to join his team-mate Lewis Hamilton in the fight against Max Verstappen.
While Hamilton snatched the Bahrain win against the odds, Bottas was a lacklustre P3.
The Finn appeared to approach Mercedes motorsport boss Toto Wolff after the race, perhaps to question his strategy, with the Austrian putting the onus on the driver, saying Bottas “couldn’t recover the gap”.
