Mercedes’ Valtteri Bottas registers his first win of the 2021 season as he sweeps the Turkish Grand Prix and wins in a very dominant fashion. After starting from pole position today, Valtteri Bottas had a strong start which he maintained throughout the race. Charles Leclerc of Ferrari was leading the race but was soon overtaken by Bottas twice as the Ferrari driver struggled massively with rear grips.
While there is celebration on one garage in Mercedes, there has been disappointment in the other as the team gets Lewis Hamilton’s strategy wrong. Hamilton wanted to stay out and see the set of intermediate tires till the end of the race but after being told twice, he eventually came into the pits.
