Valtteri Bottas displayed plenty of promise over the course of the Shanghai event, putting his Kick Sauber a high-flying ninth in the tricky conditions of Sprint Qualifying and making it through to Q3 a day later to secure 10th on the grid for the Grand Prix. But his bid to score points ended in disappointment when his engine gave up and forced him to pull off the track.
Missing out
Like Albon at Williams and Bottas at Kick Sauber, Esteban Ocon was also pushing to score his team’s first point of the season, the Alpine driver narrowly missing out on a top-10 spot after a battling drive, with McLaren’s Oscar Piastri and Sprint star Hamilton also close to making the cut.
