2023 Fantasy Outlook

In his first year with the Alfa Romeo squad Bottas captured 49 points and finished 10th in the standings. It was his first season without a podium finish since he joined the series in 2013, though. The Alfa Romeo squad was not able to develop their cars as much as some other contenders and Bottas lost ground in the championship positions as a result. His best results of the season came within the first nine races. Reliability also plagued him with five DNFs in the last 13 races compared to just one in those first nine. As a Formula One veteran with 10 career wins Bottas is certainly not a driver to sleep on in 2023, however. If the current pattern holds, he should be expected to get the most out of the car early in the year, but he and the team will need to continue getting more speed out of their 2023 car through the remainder of the season to finish higher in the standings than they did in 2022.

Shows some improvement

April 8, 2024

Bottas finished 14th in the Japanese Grand Prix F1 race at Suzuka International Racing Course on Sunday.

ANALYSIS
Bottas finished in 14th for the second consecutive race weekend, but he had some promising signs along the way. He advanced out of Q1 for the second consecutive grand prix. The Kick Sauber team also showed some improvement in pit lane, as Bottas had a pair of stops that were in the competitive range. It remains to be seen if there's enough pace in the car for Bottas to regularly compete for points, but there has been some reason for optimism in recent performances.
