treatment from a top Physiotherapist.
The Grove based outfit also confirmed that they are fully
supportive of Bottas and his attempt to get back to full fitness for the
Malaysian Grand Prix.
The team have also stated that as the FIA declared Bottas

can race next weekend. Should Bottas not be able to race the team will decide
next week who drive alongside Felipe Massa having confirmed earlier this week
that Susie Wolff is not their reserve driver but just their test driver.
