(Williams Martini Racing Team)
Williams Martini Racing Team’s Valtteri Bottas has been
passed fit to race this weekend at the Malaysian Grand Prix. The Finn sat out
the opening race of the season in Australia two weeks ago after suffering a
back injury following qualifying for the race.
Bottas who had qualified in sixth place for the opening race
of the season, spent the night in hospital for checks and underwent an FIA
medical check on Sunday which he failed and he travelled to Indonesia following
the race weekend which had been planned but he spent time there acclimatizing to
the heat in Malaysia.
The Grove based outfit released the following statement on Thursday:
‘Following the
injury that Valtteri sustained to his lower back during qualifying for the
Australian GP, he has been with a leading physiotherapist who has been working
with Valtteri and his trainer to make sure he received the best treatment
possible ahead of this weekend’s race. The team has always been fully
supportive of Valtteri and his determination to return to the cockpit and
following final approval by the FIA medical team in Malaysia today, we are
pleased to confirm that Valtteri will be back in the FW37 this weekend for the
Malaysian Grand Prix.’
