Valtteri Bottas - 11th place - 6/10

A poor weekend for Williams and Bottas was unable to rescue a point despite a different strategy than most. Switched to intermediates on lap 38 and ran to the end of the race, but the Williams is not strong in the wet and progress was slow initially. Finally got the intermediates to work in the closing laps and fought to the end with a move on Ocon on the final lap to secure 11th, but he just ran out of time and there was no further drama ahead to promote him to the top ten.
