Valtteri Bottas drove a great race in the heat of Spain. Alfa Romeo’s Finn finished sixth, which was also his starting point in the race.
In an interview with Viaplay after the race, Bottas raised the issue of tire wear at the end of the race. The Spanish race was run as high as 37 degrees.
– The tires had to be saved a lot, they get hot a lot in this weather.
Bottas was even in the middle of the race in the middle of the race, but the wear of the rest of the tires watered down the best ranking in Alfa Romeo’s career.
– There were good points. There was a long risk with the tactic and the last stint was too long. The rubbers didn’t last until the end, Bottas said after the race.
– The pace was good. We have to look at how tactically we could have been better.
Bottas is eighth in the World Series with 30 points.
