Valtteri Bottas says he is okay after his Mexican Grand Prix crash and has been released from the circuit medical centre. In his statement published by F1 on Monday, the Finnish driver thanked the medical team.

Investigation continues

Cadillac sent Bottas for precautionary checks and excused him from media duties that day, according to the team statement reported by M4. The team principal promised a full investigation, while Bottas said understanding the incident was the next task. The reassuring personal update does not establish the technical cause: his condition and the investigation's findings are separate information.
