Valtteri Bottas believes that Mercedes need to improve its high downforce package in order to avoid a tricky run in to the 2017 Formula 1 season.

F1 will return from its summer break in just under two weeks time, where the paddock will arrive in Belgium at the Spa-Francorchamps. That and the proceeding race at Monza is expected to play to the strengths of the Silver Arrows who appear to hold the advantage at high-speed circuits.
