Valtteri Bottas has the “full backing” of the Mercedes F1 team heading into 2019, says Toto Wolff.
Bottas said the criticism he received last season has provided him with an “extra boost” heading into 2019 and Wolff has backed his driver to bounce back strongly.
“Valtteri knows he has the full backing of the team to succeed and he’s excited to get back in the car and show his critics what he can do,” Toto Wolff said.
A host of rule changes – including revised aerodynamic regulations – introduced in a bid to improve the quality of racing in 2019 has provided a challenge for F1 team designers over the winter.
