Valtteri Bottas was unable to attack Max Verstappen in the last race of the season and had to settle for second-place. The Finn is satisfied with his race and says he has driven almost flawlessly.
Verstappen was too fast
"Yeah I think Red Bull was too quick today. Surprisingly quick and build the gap when needed. I tried everything I could. I felt that I got the maximum out of the package today and I got ahead of the teammate," said Bottas after the race.
All credit to Mercedes
"The team has been amazing this year. So, I am really proud we got P1 and 2 in the championship," the Finn concluded.
