Valtteri Bottas

Bottas has to be Alfa Romeo’s best weapon for 2022. He’s a proven race winner who was often close to Hamilton over a single lap, and knows how a multiple championshipwinning team works. A possible snag is that racecraft hasn’t always been Bottas’s strong point, which could be exposed in any midfield battles, but the Finn is likely to show where the pace of the C42 really is and score points if chances arise.
