And the Austrian has promised that his team will continue with their “aggressive” approach as they defend their constructors and drivers’ championship titles. He said: “There’s been a brilliant buzz in the team over the last week or so. “It was made even more special by being Lewis’ 100th race win in Formula One. I know Lewis, Valtteri Bottas and the entire team are fired up for the battle that lies ahead. “It’s an exciting track layout and a good one for racing, so I think we’ll be in for another spectacular twist in this brilliant F1 season.
