Valtteri Bottas is adamant that he couldn’t have done anything differently when he collided with countryman Kimi Raikkonen at Turn 2 of the Azerbaijan GP.
This was not the first time the two Finns have made contact, although this time the Mercedes driver came off worst, dropping to the back with a puncture. He got his lap back at a safety car and from there managed to recover to second place.
“It’s a bit of a shame it’s again me and Kimi but we’ve been fighting for similar positions and it’s just unlucky that it’s us again,” said Bottas.
