Bottas "struggling to get perfect laps" on Paul Ricard

Valtteri Bottas might have secured a tidy P2 for the start of Sunday's French Grand Prix, but the Fin still thinks he couldn't get a perfect lap on the Paul Ricard all weekend long.

Bottas was happy for the team, but still was left wanting more after yet another second-place finish.

“It was not bad, not a bad lap, but not perfect either,” Bottas said after climbing out of his car.

The new engine spec might have helped Mercedes, even though Bottas also qualified second in Canada two weeks ago.
