“I made a mistake myself, for sure the team also told me to push harder and I was pushing as hard as I could to get t꧂o the podium,” Bottas explained.
“Obviously I pushed a bit too much in that corner, 🥃lost the rear-end. It was my mistake and maybe I should have tried to stay more calm and take my t༺ime but maybe if I didn’t try that hard maybe I wouldn’t have reached the podium.
“But at least I could have 🧸got some points, which would have been important. For sure lots t🐻o learn.
“In these kinds of conditions 🌠it’s so easy to make this kind 🔜of mistake,” he added.
“Obviously I should have done the race without mistakes, t🍸hat’s alwaꦿys the goal but it happened at the wrong time, and the wrong corner, and that’s it.”
