Valtteri Bottas had a problem with his seat belt coming undone during the Singapore Grand Prix, forcing him to make a pit stop to have it adjusted and in the aftermath of the race the Williams team are working to solve the problem which they admit is a worry.
Williams performance chief Rob Smedley told media, “His seatbelt came undone, so he told us and he pitted immediately. We did them up in the pits.”
“But to understand why they’ve come undone, it’s really quite a worry in itself that has happened while they’re driving at these sort of speeds.”
“Valtteri had another issue some years back. I don’t think it was a similar issue, but it was something to do with the seatbelt.”
“We’ve just got to go away, do the correct analysis with due diligence, and the main thing is we get it fixed for [the next race in] Malaysia.”
“Obviously, we’ve done the whole season without any seatbelts coming undone in practice or the race or anything like that, so it’s a bit of a worry that it’s suddenly just happened,” added Smedley.
