Valtteri Bottas finished the Brazilian GP in 9th place while Guanyu Zhou finished 12th
Valtteri Bottas is known to be a great teammate and it was proven correct once again during the Sprint session in the Brazilian GP. In a video shared by F1’s official handle on Twitter, Bottas can be heard asking his team over the radio to pass on some instructions to teammate Zhou Guanyu. The Alfa Romeo staff conveyed the information to Zhou and it did yield the desired result as Zhou went on to overtake Nicholas Latifi.
In the video, Bottas can be heard saying on the team radio: “Tell Zhou to attack him into Turn 10. Latifi is braking early there.” The instructions were forwarded to Zhou, who followed the advice and eventually overtook Latifi. In the end, the Alfa Romeo staff can be hearing saying, “Ok good work. Zhou is now 2 seconds ahead.”
Fans absolutely loved the heartwarming incident between Bottas and Zhou. Let us take a look at how they reacted on Twitter.
“A good teammate unlike Verstaliban”, wrote a fan, taking a clear dig at Verstappen.
“these two teammates were the only ones who didn’t have a fallout”, joked another fan.
“Valtteri giving advice for overtaking is like a single person giving advice for dating”, read a tweet.
“Bottas driving, coaching and probably playing chess in the cockpit. Total boss”, tweeted another fan.
Another fan wrote: “Absolute insane how someone can not only drive their own car at the absolute limit, but also have that level of understanding about what is happening with another driver best part of 100 metres up the road. What a teammate to have.”
