Valtteri Bottas: Continued Struggles in Japan
Bottas finished 19th in the Japanese Grand Prix Formula 1 race at the Suzuka Circuit on Sunday.
Analysis:
The veteran Cadillac driver would have struggles with pace all weekend and qualify poorly for the Japanese Grand Prix staring P20 on the grid. He'd fall back to last place due to being the only driver to start the grand prix on hard tyres. A lap 19 pit stop before the Oliver Bearman safety car would further hamper his efforts. Bottas could only scratch his way back to P19 after a couple driver retirements and would finish two spots behind his teammate, Sergio Perez.
