Valtteri Bottas is ready to win races in Formula One, according to his trainer. Antti Vierula, who once worked with Lewis Hamilton, now works with Valtteri Bottas who is set to join Mercedes for 2017.
When asked if he thinks Bottas can become world champion, Finn Vierula said: "Yes, after working for many years with different drivers, you begin to recognise the character.
"If Valtteri gets into a competitive car, yes, he will become a winner," he added. "He demands a lot from himself and those who are working alongside him. Valtteri says exactly what he wants and knows exactly what he wants," he added.
Vierula compared Bottas to four time world champion Alain Prost. "They have a lot in common," he said. "I have not worked with Prost, but from what I have heard from the people at McLaren, both he and Valtteri use a lot of common sense in the races."
