Valtteri Bottas beats Lewis Hamilton at F1 finale in Abu Dhabi
Yas Marina [26 Novembe 2017]
Valtteri Bottas withstood race-long pressure from Mercedes teammate and 2017 world champion Lewis Hamilton to end the Formula One season with a victory.
Bottas led away from pole position before the two Mercedes cars disappeared into the distance. At one stage Hamilton looked ready to mount a serious challenge, getting within DRS range following his pit-stop, but ran wide at Turn 17.
It was as close as he came, with Bottas holding on for a third career win -- a perfect way for the Finn to end his season having struggled since the summer break. Sebastian Vettel rounded off the podium for Ferrari.
