Valtteri Bottas (No. 77) \u2013 7th<\/b><\/p>\n
For the Finn, it’s a good top 10 in a Grand Prix that could have ended at the first corner when Nico Rosberg and he collided: \u00ab It was a good race for me, despite the heavy contact at the start which cost me a few positions. I also had to drive the entire race without telemetry, which was not easy to do. \u00bb<\/p>\n
\u00ab We made progress throughout the weekend, which is good […] we hope to do the same in Spain in three weeks, \u00bb he concluded.<\/p>\n
Felipe Massa (No. 19) – 15th<\/b><\/p>\n
Like Bottas, the Brazilian could have quickly been put out of the race at the start, during a contact with Fernando Alonso, even though he got the best start: \u00ab I got another excellent start today and we were fighting at the front. I felt contact with Fernando but fortunately the car wasn’t damaged so I was able to continue. \u00bb<\/p>\n
But all this good work was spoiled by a missed pit stop on the 10th lap: \u00ab There was an error during the first stop and it actually cost me the race because I came back on track in the last position. It’s a frustrating situation and something we need to work on to ensure it never happens again. \u00bb<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
