Valtteri definitely brought his A-game to Istanbul. He was exceptional in the qualifying session on Saturday and managed to slot himself as the second-fastest driver on the timesheet.

“It feels awesome. It feels good and I don’t know, almost like a relief that I actually won a race this year. It’s been a while – and it was not an easy race win; with these conditions, we just needed to have full focus, non-stop, and I couldn’t do any mistakes. Actually, the pace I had was really good, so I was confident with the car,” Bottas explained.
