This weekend, at the spectacular Mugello circuit, Valtteri Bottas he seemed to be finally ready to beat Lewis Hamilton. The Finn was always in the lead in free practice and during Q1, but then his teammate at Mercedes managed to reverse the situation once again, taking the lead when it mattered most and managing to clinch pole for just 59 thousandths in the third trimester. A mocking result for the former Williams standard-bearer, who in his last assault on the first frame of the grid was also stopped by Esteban Ocon’s spin, which caused the yellow flags to go off and the impossibility of pushing hard for the pilot of Nastola.
Valtteri Bottas: “Losing pole is disappointing, especially with such a small margin and after having to stop my last lap. The yellow flags certainly hampered my ranking, because he still had a lot to do on the last lap and was waiting for the right moment to do it. My first try was good but not perfect so I couldn’t wait to leave but didn’t get a chance. Come the weekend we thought it would be almost impossible to overtake here, but during practice we saw how wide the track is and the different paths that can be taken in the corners. So I hope I can fight Lewis and have a good fight. There is also a long straight to San Donato, so we will see what happens.“.
