Felipe Massa and Valtteri Bottas are ready to put Malaysia's team orders row behind them after it was revealed that Williams apologised for the confusion created last weekend.
Bottas also suggested a compromise. "Maybe it could have been done in a little bit different way, or better explained the situation - that I could have a go on Button and if I can't do it then he would get his position back or something like that," he said. "I think that would be fair. If I say I think I can go through and then I can't then I think it's quite a fair thing to do. "It's a difficult one for the team, but it's how it is. If you get a chance, you need to do it quick. "You don't have much tyres left if you are really close to someone for two laps, you start to overheat them a bit. So you're very limited for time. "If you're catching someone, you need the momentum to get through; if you get stuck behind then it's game over." The 24-year-old added that he was able to trust the team in making the right decision because "they have all the data available and they're focusing on getting maximum points for the two cars on track. "In the end, you are employed by the team and you work for the team. So, for me, it's really clear what to do."
