On This Day: Bottas wins as Verstappen regains points lead from Hamilton | Brief

On October 10, 2021, Valtteri Bottas achieved his 10th career win at the Turkish Grand Prix, marking his most recent victory. Max Verstappen secured second place, allowing him to regain the championship lead from Lewis Hamilton, who faced a challenging race starting from 11th due to a penalty and ultimately finished fifth.

Esteban Ocon managed to clinch the final point in 10th position, notably without making a pit stop and using the same set of intermediates throughout the race. His performance was aided by teammate Antonio Giovinazzi, who did not follow team instructions to let Kimi Raikkonen pass, impacting the race dynamics.
