Valtteri Bottas he was unable to keep up with his teammate Lewis Hamilton. The Finn, in fact, in the qualifying of the Australian GP, it arrived “only” in third position, leaving pole position to his teammate and also second position to Ferrari driver Sebastian Vettel. His bad mood is palpable, as stated in the press conference: "I'm not too happy with the lap, third place is not ideal and what we wanted, but I'm still happy for Lewis Hamilton and the whole team. We are fighting at the top of the table and this is good news for us. I didn't have a perfect lap, I'm not satisfied, but tomorrow is the day that counts. We are quite strong, we can score good points, the team worked well.", concluded Bottas, visibly disappointed.
