Valtteri Bottas still hasn’t been able to score a single point this season. Spectators in Montreal showed their admiration for the impressive maneuvers of the Kick Sauber driver during the Canadian Grand Prix. After losing control of his vehicle in a specific turn, Bottas effortlessly executed a 180° spin to get back on track.
Since the beginning of this season, Valtteri Bottas has been performing poorly, and Sauber has failed to score points in the nine races so far. The Finnish driver has struggled to keep up with the slow C44 car, which has been one of the least competitive on the grid.
However, the former Mercedes driver showcased his impressive skills during the 70-lap race by executing a perfect 180° spin. During his five years with Mercedes, Bottas proved to be an exceptional driver, winning 10 races and achieving an impressive 58 podium finishes.
Bottas’ contract with Sauber will expire at the end of the season, leaving him without a team for 2025, despite rumors of negotiations with several teams. The 34-year-old driver will need to perform exceptionally well in the upcoming races to attract interest from potential teams.
Valtteri Bottas has expressed the need for major improvements to enhance the performance of the C44 car and the overall performance of Kick Sauber this season. The team is the only one that hasn’t scored a single point so far.
Both drivers, including Valtteri Bottas, have struggled throughout most of the races this season, with the latest being at the Gilles Villeneuve circuit. Bottas mentioned that some improvements to the car provided a bit more downforce during the race, but ultimately didn’t result in points.
Sauber will focus on improving the fundamental aspects of its car to identify and address speed and downforce issues, in the hope of achieving better results. They also plan to introduce more effective improvements in time for the crucial Spanish Grand Prix in two weeks.
