Valtteri Bottas is now facing a “mental battle” in his fight with Lewis Hamilton, according to Formula 1 chief Ross Brawn, following the outcome of the Tuscan Grand Prix. Bottas held a pace advantage over Hamilton for much of the weekend at Mugello but the World Champion inched ahead in Q2 and preserved a slender gain at the start of Q3. Bottas was denied a second Q3 push lap when Esteban Ocon went off but surged into the lead anyway at the start when Hamilton bogged down. However, Bottas stint in the lead proved short-lived as Hamilton passed him at the first standing restart, and remained in front at the second restart.
