Valtteri Bottas would give himself an eight of 1𓄧0 for his performance across the 2019 Formul𒀰a 1 season and insists he can “definitely do better” next year.

The Finn claimed four victories and five pole positions as he secured his best-ever season in F1 by finishing runner-up to Mercedes teammate Lewis Hamilt𝄹on in the championship, albeit some 87 points🌟 behind the six-time world champion.

꧅While Bottas gave his Mercedes team a near-perfect 𝓡score of nine out of 10, he feels he has more work to do on his side in order to challenge Hamilton in 2020.

“I think for the team I would say❀ nine [out of 10],” Bottas said.

“It’s nearly perfect but I wouldn’t say it was perfect because we always need ꦺto do bett🀅er, so it’s a nine because of that.

“We need to keep pushing, keep try🌃ing to do things better than they currently are and there’s margin to improve for next year.

“For me personally, it has been my best season in Formula 1 so far, so in terms of pure race speed, and on average, I give ܫmyself maybe an eight. I can definitely do better.”

Asked what he feels he needs to do in order to improve next year, Bottas replied: “I made good gains on all the areas t꧒his year, the consistency has been there, better than in the previous years.

ﷺ“But I still need, over the whole season, to master every single track and conditions, so that’s the thing, I would say.

“Consistency throughout the year, but of course, that comes from many, many details and I can’t really point out one. Overall, I ওthink that’s wha🍷t I need to do.”
