Valtteri Bottas has caused the first neutralisation at the Chinese Grand Prix. The Finn dropped out with an engine problem and is on the side of the track. It took quite a long time before race control decided to call out a virtual safety car, only to call out a safety car later. It was especially painful for Bottas, as he seemed to be on his way to a good result in Shanghai.
