The impact of Bottas on Alfa Romeo not seen from the outside

Alfa Romeo Team Representative Alessandro Alunni Bravi believes that Valtteri Bottas has had a strong influence on the team perhaps not seen from the outside.

Bottas joined the squad at the start of 2022 after five years of racing alongside Lewis Hamilton at Mercedes. He went on to finish the season in 10th place with 49 points.

Whilst the team have faced mixed fortunes so far in 2023, Alunni Bravi expects Bottas to stay in F1 for some time in order to challenge for podiums and wins again.

"I think he wants to stay in Formula 1," Alunni Bravi told media, including TheFOXposts.Com.

"He wants to come back to fight for podiums, for wins. This is the ambition for every driver, of course, but he wants to be [fighting at the front]."

Bottas brought 'winning culture' from Mercedes

Alunni Bravi credits Bottas – a 10-time F1 race winner – with helping Alfa Romeo to grow.

"He's helping our team to do this step," he explained.

"It was important last year for us, because he instilled in the team this winning culture that Mercedes had. Maybe from outside, you didn't notice this too much, but it was really important.

"His presence during each week, coming to the workshop, working with the engineers, working on the simulator, having speeches with our employees to motivate our group with them here, working together with Zhou [Guanyu]."

Alunni Bravi feels that Bottas' contribution to the team works well alongside that from Zhou, who completed his rookie season with the outfit in 2022.

"Valtteri is important, as important as Zhou," he added.

"This is why we think that we have a good mix of driver."

Court throws out conviction after judge says Black man 'looks like a criminal to me'

An appeals court says a Detroit federal judge violated the rights of a Black man when he said in court, ‘This guy looks like a criminal to me DETROIT -- An appeals court on Thursday overturned the drug conviction of a Black man, saying his rights were violated by a Detroit federal judge who was upset over delays in the case and declared: “This guy looks like a criminal to me.” “Such remarks are wholly incompatible with the fair administration of justice,” the 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals said. U.S. District Judge Stephen Murphy III, who is white, apologized nearly two years later when the case against Leron Liggins finally was ready for trial. He explained that he was mad at the time “and I regret it.” Nonetheless, the appeals court said Murphy should have removed himself as Liggins' attorney had requested. The court threw out a heroin distribution conviction and 10-year prison sentence and ordered a new trial with a different judge . Allowing the conviction to stand “wou

Times are dire for both teams these days, so to say that this Game is crucial would be an understatement.

Here is my Same Game Parlay for the festivities, which kick off at 4:25 pm ET on CBS. Also be sure to check out our full Bengals vs Chiefs predictions .

At the same time, plays that aren’t correlated drive up the overall pa
