Williams driver Valtteri Bottas is expected to overcome a back injury in time for this weekend's Malaysian Grand Prix.
The Finn missed the season-opening race in Australia last weekend after he hurt his back during qualifying, but he expects to pass an FIA medical and return to action in Kuala Lumpur.
His manager Didier Coton told reporters: "Valtteri is in very good shape. He is working very hard. I spoke with him today and he is in top shape. He will have to take the FIA medical, which I expect him to pass.
"I don't see any reason why he wouldn't pass it, he tells me he is back to normal. I'm very confident about it, but of course I am not a doctor."
Bottas was due to start sixth in Melbourne.
