Valtteri Bottas has described his recent run of bad luck in 2018 as a ''bad joke''.
The Finn has arguably been Formula One's unluckiest driver in 2018 with his recent retirement in Austria the latest dose of bad luck. Most notably, he had been on for the win in Baku before picking up a puncture in the closing laps while at Paul Ricard, he was taken out by Sebastian Vettel at the first corner of the opening lap.
Bottas' failure to make the chequered at the Red Bull Ring means he now sits sixth in the drivers' championship, 54 points behind championship leader Vettel.
