Bottas Oz review

Valtteri Bottas - 8th place, 4 points - 7.5/10

One of the bigger recoveries of the race as Bottas went from 16th on the grid to a solid number of points. The Finn was out of position due to a gearbox penalty, but put in a good opening stint on soft tyres to climb up in to the points. Unfortunate to pit just a few laps before the red flag, Bottas was due to follow the same strategy as Hulkenberg, Another driver to fail to make a move in the second half of the race, the Finn at least showed the pace to withstand pressure from the Toro Rossos late on.
