Valtteri Bottas has spun his W12 in the pit lane during FP2. When he pressed the accelerator, the tyres spun and he lost control. Fortunately, the Finn did not hit any mechanics from other teams after the bizarre scary moment.
Bottas tried to put down some rubber so he and Lewis Hamilton could get away easier later in the weekend. However, when he tried this, the Finn spun at a dangerous point. The McLaren team helped put him back in the right direction and he could continue the session. After the practice session, the incident will be looked into by the race director.
