MUST-SEE: Bottas reprimanded for collision with Grosjean in FP2
He went fastest in both Friday practice sessions in Abu Dhabi, but there was a fly in the ointment for Mercedes' Valtteri Bottas, as both he and Haas rival Romain Grosjean were summoned to see the stewards after a tangle in FP2.
The incident occurred with around 20 minutes of the session remaining, when Bottas attempted to pass Grosjean on the inside into Turn 11. The pair made heavy contact and spun around before limping back to the garage with damage, as the session was red flagged for debris.
Both drivers later met with the stewards, with Bottas accepting responsibility for the clash and recieving a reprimand - his first of the season.
