SPIELBERG, Austria -- Valtteri Bottas says the new parts Mercedes brought to Austria have been a "good step forward" -- and he is expecting more progress as the weekend progresses.
Mercedes has brought a selection of new parts to the Red Bull Ring, including a tweaked front wing and nose, in a bid to keep ahead of title rivals Ferrari. Bottas finished third in both the Friday practice sessions topped by Mercedes teammate Lewis Hamilton.
Bottas is happy with the early signs from the new parts and thinks more performance can be found.
"They're quite a few: new front wing, nose, floor, etc.
