Valtteri Bottas (P8, 4 points) : 5/10
A Q3 brain fade, resulting in a long night for the crew and a five spot grid penalty for a gearbox change is not the way a driver fighting to keep his coveted seat wants to start the season. In the race, the Finn struggled with an overheating issue and couldn’t do much on the difficult-to-pass Melbourne circuit. Careful Valtteri, Toto and Niki are watching closely!
