Valtteri Bottas in a few meters he saw his hopes for glory in the Mexican Grand Prix crumble. The Mercedes driver, who started from pole position, after the traffic lights went out tried to move to the right to offer the wake to Lewis Hamilton, but in doing so he kept Max Verstappen in the exhausts offering him the wake and, above all, leaving the Dutch left the cleanest outside lane free to sink a super braking which earned the Red Bull rider the lead.
In addition, a wrong braking by Ricciardo sent Bottas into a spin. The Finnish driver commented on this at the end of the race to the microphones of Sky Sport F1 the excited moment of departure, in which he tried to perform an unsuccessful team game: “I was trying to wake Lewis Hamilton. The start itself I think went badly. Unfortunately I turned around and this ruined the race for us. Do something different? No I do not think so. Will Toto tell me something? I don’t understand why it should. What would there be to say “, the words of the future Alfa Romeo driver who in the final race managed at least to take away the fastest lap from Max Verstappen. Bottas, however, did not score any points and now in the Constructors’ standings there is only one point to divide Mercedes and Red Bull.
