Bottas starts birthday fastest as Belgian GP action begins

Valtteri Bottas celebrated turning 31 by setting the quickest time as Formula 1 action resumed on Friday at the Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps, Belgium. Bottas, who has never won Formula 1’s Belgian Grand Prix, clocked a time of 1:44.493 to finish 0.069s up on Mercedes team-mate Lewis Hamilton. Most of the front-runners used Soft tyres – which this weekend are the C4s – to clock their fastest times. Despite finishing atop it wasn’t all plain sailing for Bottas as after a heavy lock-up into the Bus Stop chicane he slowed shortly afterwards due to a suspected left-front puncture.
