It was his second retirement of the season, having been involved in a crash with George Russell at Imola in Round 2.
When he has seen the flag, the Finn has reached the podium – he’s finished third on three occasions in 2021.
Bottas is expected to travel to Azerbaijan this evening and arrive in time for opening practice on Friday, which begins at 18:30 AEST.
