:Valtteri Bottas put in a 'mega lap' to beat Mercedes Formula One team mate Lewis Hamilton and qualify fastest on Friday for Saturday's experimental Italian Grand Prix sprint race.
He will start from the back of the grid on Sunday after a strategic power unit change triggered a penalty for exceeding the allocation of three for the season, but can still score on Saturday. "It feels so good when you get a nice lap. I managed to save it to the end and had a bit of a tow as well so it was good fun. I enjoyed it.
"Congratulations to Valtteri, he did a mega lap," said Hamilton."It was looking good for us until the end but then he went quicker, and I just couldn't match it."The hour-long qualifying at the 'Temple of Speed' outside Milan replaced Friday's usual second practice, with the sprint format being trialled for the second time after a debut at Silverstone in July.
