"It was a bit complicated in the first practice, I didn't have a good feeling in the car, especially in the first sector. I did better in the qualifiers. The main places I lost towards Lewis were the first two turns and the plane. So I can’t be completely satisfied."But if we look at his past results, Bottas it didn't go so bad.

Finn he came very close Verstappen in second place, but he could not improve his time. “It is still a good starting point. There’s a lot in play and a lot of action in the first round."
