BUDAPEST, Hungary -- Valtteri Bottas shook off the disappointment of the German Grand Prix by "punishing" himself cycling and having "a couple of beers".
Bottas had the opportunity to halve his points deficit to teammate Lewis Hamilton in Hockenheim, but spun out of the race while chasing a podium, resulting in Hamilton extending his lead by two points to 41. The Finnish driver said it took him until the following day to get over the disappointment.
"I would say by Monday, midday, after punishing myself for two hours on the bike, I was feeling fine. A couple of beers and a couple of hours of biking, but not at the same time!
