The dream of Valtteri Bottas winning at Mugello lasted only 8 laps. The Finn from Mercedes at the start was back to the reactivity of the best days, surprisingly burning Lewis Hamilton and taking command of the race. The duel between the two, however, unfortunately for the reigning world runner-up, was actually decided on the second path after the first red flag, when Bottas once again got off to a good start, his teammate allowed him to parade outside and world leader. Another head-to-head knockout for the former Williams driver, now 55 points behind the English champion in the standings.

Hamilton: “Crazy race, I’m exhausted”

“It seems we did three races today and it was very difficult – Bottas commented at the end of the day – The first part of the GP went well for me, but it was also quite short. I got off to a dream start and held my position on the first Safety Car restart. Once I lost my position to Lewis in the second outing, it was very difficult to regain it.. I did everything I could and was pushing really hard, especially in the mid-period, to be able to keep my distance. But when you’re in the rear, you have to slide the car more and that wears out the tires. There weren’t many chances once I lost the lead, but it is. I just have to keep pushing and trying to improve, and that’s what I’ll do. “.
