Valtteri Bottas declared himself "not satisfied" by qualifying third for the Australian Grand Prix after being pipped to a place on the front row by Ferrari's Sebastian Vettel.
Bottas had edged Lewis Hamilton in Q2 but fell behind his Mercedes teammate and Vettel in the top-ten shootout, finishing 0.3s shy of P1. The Finn had admitted after Friday practice he had work to do to cut the gap to his teammate and he was ahead at the end of Q2, only to fall short when it counted.
Despite a strong showing with his new team Bottas was left to reflect on what might have been after Q3, though he was happy to see Mercedes beat Ferrari to pole.
