Bottas completes Toyota Yaris WRC test in Finland
Mercedes Formula 1 driver Valtteri Bottas continued to scratch his rallying itch by sampling Toyota's World Rally Championship-spec Yaris car in a casual test earlier this week.
Making the most of the two-week break between F1 races in Great Britain and Germany, Bottas returned to his native Finland to get in some running in the Toyota Yaris WRC alongside two-time world champion Timo Rautinen as his co-driver.
