It wasn’t the weekend Valtteri Bottas.
Alfa Romeo’s Finn stopped for the third time in a row. The weekend was pretty hectic anyway, as the poor qualifying result denied the opportunity to fight for the points.
The race was stopped after the engine started.
– The power started to come out at the beginning of the straight, then there was already a flame and there was a noise in the engine room. You can’t get a drivable machine from it anymore, Bottas stated in an interview with Viaplay.
Alfa’s current mood upsets Finns. He hopes the team will find a solution to the reliability problems of the last races.
– In the race, the pace was better than in qualifying. I was able to fight others. Maybe it would have been difficult to get to the points, but at least there was a good twist, Bottas was spinning.
In the case of Bottas, those who follow the formulas have taken the Finn’s starts under special scrutiny. In investments, there is too often a back pack in the opening round.
– This time my start was actually good, but I was a bit behind in the triple bend. Came to the jacket again in the opening round. You have to invest in them so that you don’t always make life harder for yourself, Bottas admits.
The F1 season continues next weekend in Monza, Italy.
