Bottas fastest lap. Mercedes team principal Toto Wolff has described Valtteri Bottas as cheeky in setting a late fastest lap despite being instructed to abort. On the whole he played a supportive role for Lewis Hamilton. At the time the fastest lap was held by his teammate Lewis Hamilton.
Valtteri Bottas says he was just playing around with his fastest lap at the end of Formula 1s Dutch Grand Prix and denies suggestions he disobeyed a Mercedes team order. Valtteri Bottas insists he followed Mercedes orders when told not to go for the fastest lap in the Dutch Grand Prix despite still posting the quickest time to that point. Bottas was called in for a precautionary pitstop on safety grounds at Zandvoort on lap 67 of 72 switching from medium to soft tyres and promptly set the fastest first two sectors of the race.
However at the end he pinched the fastest lap point forcing the Brit to pit for a fresh set of tyres himself to win the point back. The official line is that Bottas took the fastest lap on lap 69 unintentionally. Valtteri Bottas has rejected suggestions he defied team orders when he set the fastest lap of the Formula 1 Dutch Grand Prix late in the race.
No he has withdrawn said the team boss Toto Wolff when asked about the situation. Bottas was a distant third behind race leader Max Verstappen and Hamilton in the closing stages of Sundays. Lewis Hamilton was running second to Max Verstappen on the road and already held the fastest lap with Verstappens chances of beating the mark on old hard tires looking unlikely.
Valtteri Bottas nearly snatched a point from Mercedes teammate Lewis Hamilton by setting the fastest lap of the Dutch Grand Prix when he wasnt supposed to though team boss Toto Wolff was understanding of the situation after the race. Despite this Bottas set the fastest set blistering pace in the first two sectors of the lap which prompted Mercedes team strategist James Vowles to jump on. With just five laps remaining in the race Bottas was called into the pits while running third and despite having fresh tyres was told not to go for fastest lap which comes with an extra championship point.
He was asked before the lap even began to not go for it. Mercedes were on the edge about pitting hamilton incase something happened that would let lewis pass max. But the Finn was instructed to slow down in the final sector which allow Hamiltons stop for softs on lap 70 to be rewarded with a point for fastest lap setting a 1m11097s to Bottas.
But the Finn was instructed to slow down in the final sector which allow Hamiltons stop for softs on lap 70 to be rewarded with a point for fastest lap - setting a 1m11097s to Bottas 1m12549s. I didnt go for the fastest lap but Lewis did get it so as a team we got solid points Bottas himself said.

In the closing laps of the Dutch GP there was tension between Valtteri Bottas and Mercedes after they pitted the Finn for soft tyres and then took the fastest lap. He still went for it and got it. The official line is this Bottas unintentionally drove the fastest lap on lap 69.

I didnt do the fastest lap but Lewis got it so we got solid points as a team Bottas he said afterwards. Bottas getting that fastest lap means he essentially forced mercedes hands to pit lewis.
Bottas was called in by his team on lap 67 of 72 for a precautionary pit stop with his crew swapping his medium tyres for a set of softs a change that the Mercedes driver saw as an opportunity to snatch a championship point for fastest lap. Valtteri Bottas finished on the podium but never really challenged for victory at the Dutch Grand Prix. Hindsight nothing happened that lewis couldve taken advantage of that would give him the race win but if there had bottas wouldve.
Toto Wolff has called it a bit cheeky of Bottas to have put in a fastest lap but says it is understandable. Despite being told not to set the fastest lap as team-mate. Running a lonely third place behind Max Verstappen and.
