Arrivabene: I apologised to Bottas

As the Formula 1 world sets up tent in Singapore, it has emerged in Italian media that Arrivabene sought out and apologised to Bottas immediately after the race, "As soon as I said it in the heat of the moment, I knew it would create controversy."

"Since then, I exchanged messages with Valtteri Bottas. I wanted to apologize to him and explain what I meant."

"That comment escaped me, but it's not a label I want to use to describe Bottas. I really appreciated his response and I think he understood," added the Ferrari team chief.
