It Is To Laugh..or Crypto
Mercedes driver Valtteri Bottas says he is unsure whether to laugh or cry over his recent bad luck in Formula 1, but hopes it will even out in the near future.
Bottas finished eighth in Sunday’s Bahrain Grand Prix after sustaining two punctures during the race, the first occurring under the safety car in the opening stages after hitting debris, dropping the Finn to the rear of the pack.
A second puncture occurred under the final safety car, but Bottas was able to get the car home at reduced speed and not lose any positions.
It marked the latest setback for Bottas through a difficult season that saw him again lose out to Mercedes team-mate Lewis Hamilton in the title battle.
Bottas suffered a tyre failure at Silverstone, was hampered by a car issue at Monza, suffered a power unit failure at the Nurburgring, picked up debris costing him close to one second per lap at Imola, and was left with car damage in Turkey after a collision on the opening lap.
Bottas joked that he had been feeding a black cat outside his home recently, adding: “I can promise you there is no food anymore for that black cat!”
It's Laugh Or Cry
The Finn has claimed just two wins compared to 11 scored by Hamilton, and trails his teammate by 131 points in the championship standings.
Asked about his run of bad luck this year, Bottas said: “If I would make a list of all the unlucky events that are happening in the races during this year it is quite a long list.
“I mean, should I cry or should I laugh? I’d rather laugh. Some of those things there is nothing you can do obviously and I am not a superstitious guy - so the thing with the cat was a joke.
“It just sometimes happens. Of course you people can have a run of bad luck and it can be many years or a short moment.
“I hope things equal at some point. That would be nice.”
Mercedes F1 team principal Toto Wolff said Bottas’ bad luck had come in incidents that “almost come close to freak events”.
“[There have been] multiple punctures that shouldn't have happened, red flags when he was easily in the lead,” Wolff said.
“If I wouldn’t know that he has an absolutely strong mental constitution, a driver could start to question why that was happening to only one guy.
“But not Valtteri. He’s so strong, he’s so robust and resilient, and it’s only going to make him stronger.
“I feel sorry for him, picking up all those problems in a single season, when he could have won three or four or five races more, and been a solid second at least. It’s difficult.”

He stands towering over me beside my bed
Losing his head
Tells me I must take him seriously
Droning on the usual way
He's such a clever guy
And I wonder should I laugh or cry

He's (he's) dressed (dressed) in the striped pajamas that I bought
Trousers too short
Gives (gives) me (me) all his small philosophy
Carries on the way he does
And me I get so tired
And I wonder should I laugh or cry
High and mighty his banner flies
A fool's pride in his eyes
Standing there on his toes to grow in size
(All I see is)
All I see is a big balloon
Halfway up to the moon
He's wrapped up in a warm and safe cocoon
Of an eternal lie
So should I laugh or cry

Strange (strange) how (how) dangerously indifferent I have grown
Cold as a stone
No (no) more (more) pain where there was pain before
Far away he rambles on, I feel my throat go dry
And I wonder should I laugh or cry
High and mighty his banner flies
A fool's pride in his eyes
Standing there on his toes to grow in size

All I see is a big balloon
Halfway up to the moon
He's wrapped up in a warm and safe cocoon
Of an eternal lie
So should I laugh or cry
