Bottas puzzled by lack of pace in Baku
Valtteri Bottas admits he simply didn’t have the pace to be competitive at the Azerbaijan Grand Prix and says he is still confused by how the race weekend played out for him. Both Mercedes drivers struggled on Friday but Lewis Hamilton seemed to make progress with a lower-downforce rear wing on Saturday, while Bottas opted for a higher-downforce setup to try and get heat into his tires to improve grip. That approach failed, and after being unfortunate to not get his final lap of Q3 in, Bottas slipped backwards throughout the race and failed to score for the second consecutive race.
