Brawn: Bottas let win slip through his fingers

Brawn: Bottas let win slip through his fingers

Valtteri Bottas will rue a major missed opportunity at the Tuscan Grand Prix, says Formula 1 managing director Ross Brawn.

Finishing second in Sunday’s race behind Mercedes teammate Lewis Hamilton, Bottas saw a great start fall by the wayside in the subsequent two red flag restarts.

 

Jumping pole-sitter Hamilton off the line, Bottas handed the advantage back after the first red flag, and then ruined any chance of catching the Briton with another botched start after the second.

 

“Valtteri Bottas will leave Tuscany believing he should have a victory trophy in his possession,” Brawn wrote in his post-race column. “The Finn was in tremendous shape after snatching the lead from Lewis Hamilton.

 

“But he let the win slip through his fingers and he must be struggling to come to terms with another defeat to the reigning world champion.
