VALTTERI BOTTAS

We’re fans of the Finnish Williams driver, but this wasn’t one of his better weekends. The clash with Hamilton was unfortunate, but should have been avoidable, while Bottas also defended for perhaps just a fraction too long against Daniil Kvyat in the closing stages. The result was that Bottas once again finished behind team-mate Felipe Massa, someone he needs to beat consistently if he is to prove his potential champion credentials.
