Valtteri Bottas ground to a halt in Hungary, Alfa Romeo confirming that a “fuel system issue” was to blame.
On Lap 68 of 70 at the Hungarian Grand Prix, Bottas brought his Alfa Romeo C42 to a stop, triggering the Virtual Safety Car.
Heading over to the media pen after that disappointing conclusion to the race, Bottas cited a “technical issue” as the reason for his retirement, but Alfa Romeo team boss Frederic Vasseur would shed some extra light on what went wrong.
