It is noticeable that Valtteri Bottas is not having a pleasant time in Fi in recent weeks. And he once again found himself under the spotlight after he spun his Mercedes in the pit lane.

During the FP2, Valtteri Bottas was leaving the pits on fresh hard tires but lost control of his car and stop across the fast lane near the McLaren pits. As a result, the Finn diver received a three-place grid penalty from the stewards ahead of Styrian GP.

Meanwhile, taking the advantage of the situation Romain Grosjean trolls Bottas after commenting on the post by F1. He wrote: ‘Spin in the pit lane, welcome to the club Valtteri Bottas’. The Frenchman was the last driver to suffer such a fate.

Romain Grosjean, who is currently competing in the 2021 IndyCar Series with Dale Coyne Racing, experienced the pit lane spin during the 2019 British Grand Prix weekend.
