Valtteri Bottas opened up on the "grief" felt by everyone involved with Mercedes after Lewis Hamilton was cruelly denied the 2021 title at the death.
The blockbuster title race that season was infamously won by Max Verstappen, who overtook the Brit on the last lap of the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix. He was able to do so after then-race director Michael Masi's "human error" in his handling of a safety car period late in the race.
Masi was later removed from his position and the FIA conceded that it had been his mistake which changed the outcome of the championship. But that was little comfort to Hamilton and Mercedes who found the outcome very difficult to accept.
