Bottas out for Baku revenge this weekend
Baku - Valtteri Bottas has a score to settle as he heads into Sunday’s Formula One Azerbaijan Grand Prix determined to make up for a lost win and regain the championship lead from Mercedes team-mate Lewis Hamilton.
The 29-year-old has come back from the winter stronger and looking more of a match for his team-mate, even if Hamilton has returned to the top of the standings after chalking up his second win of the season in China on April 14. Mercedes heads into Sunday’s race, the fourth since Azerbaijan joined the calendar in 2016, as the favourite after three one-two finishes - the strongest start to a campaign since Williams in 1992.
The circuit holds a special emotional significance for the Monegasque, who won a 2017 Formula Two race from pole position in Baku only days after the death of his father.
