Sargeant surprised Bottas didn’t opt for inside line in Japan F1 clash
Valtteri Bottas started ahead of Logan Sargeant on the grid but dropped to the back of the pack after a pit stop on Lap 1 due to a puncture caused by contact with Alex Albon. Sargeant attempted a move on Bottas at Turn 11 but locked up and collided with him, causing Bottas to spin. Sargeant admitted full blame for the collision and received a five-second time penalty and two penalty points. The clash resulted in Bottas retiring shortly after, while Sargeant’s race also ended due to damage caused by the collision.
