BOTTAS BLEW IT
Jacques Villeneuve's view that Valtteri Bottas was “embarrassing” at last weekend’s Brazilian Grand Prix is rather harsh, but it does touch upon a key concern for the Finn. Bottas’s graduation to Mercedes this season was well-earned after some strong performances for Williams. He started the year pretty well too, with wins in Russia and Austria, but fell away in the wake of the Lewis Hamilton-Sebastian Vettel championship fight. Having taken a fine pole at Interlagos, Bottas had a great opportunity to show he had turned a corner and could be considered a real title contender next year. That’s surely what he’ll need to be if he is to keep himself in a top Formula 1 car in 2019. But he couldn’t get the job done in Brazil and finished only 2.7 seconds ahead of Hamilton, despite the #44 Mercedes starting from the pitlane.
