PODIUM
You ’ ll never catch me up ! Lewis congratulations . Valtteri , after the high of qualifying , a disappointing day . We heard you on the radio talking about struggling to keep the rears alive . What happened with the race balance ? Talk us through that . Valtteri Bottas : Yeah , it was really a tricky race for me ; struggling with the pace all through the race . I think in the first stint we found a bit of an issue with the tyre pressures and that explained the rear end struggle . But ever since that I was just rear limited and I was out of the tools on the steering wheel , so it was just oversteering all through the race , which is why the pace was slow , which is a real shame because for sure the target for was a lot , lot higher .
It ’ s difficult to win in Formula One . You had a lot of support after that pole , especially within the team , so you ’ re feeling well settled in Mercedes ? VB : Well , for sure I think this was overall the best weekend yet with the team , but there is much more to come .
