Cut off in his momentum in EL1 by an engine problem, having forced Mercedes changed the Power Unit before EL2, Valtteri Bottas returned to this incident.
“During my first timed lap in FP1, an engine problem caused me to lose power, mentions the Finn. With the engine in safety mode, I had to return. The team couldn't find the problem immediately, so we decided to swap out the Power Unit. »
“It was an electrical problem that affected Valtteri's engine in his first run, explains Andrew Shovlin, Mercedes-AMG racing engineer F1. We changed a few parts but were unable to resolve this issue. So we decided to start installing another engine during the session. »
Bottas took 4th place in the second practice session of the day, just behind Lewis Hamilton, a session largely disrupted by rain.
