Williams driver Valtteri Bottas is confident that his team's embarrassing pit-stop gaffe at the Belgian Grand Prix will 'never be repeated'.
Bottas was forced to serve a drive-through penalty after the wrong tyres were fitted on his Williams during his first stop in Sunday's race.
The Finnish driver was sent back out on track with three soft-compound tyres and one medium-compound tyre fitted to his Williams.
Bottas crossed the line in ninth, but claimed he should have finished at least four places higher at the Spa-Francorchamps circuit.
"Of course a lot of work is going to go into understanding how the tyre mishap happened, because we need to fix the procedures and make sure such a problem never occurs again," Bottas, writing in his post-race blog, said.
"We'll learn from it and I'm sure this will never be repeated.
"Without the drive-through penalty I had to serve for the tyre mistake we would have finished the race in fifth place, as I was in front of that pack.
"Still, the pace was not good enough for a top-three finish, which was our goal, so now is a time to learn and move on."
Bottas had been heavily linked with Kimi Raikkonen's seat at Ferrari next year.
But following the Italian team's decision to retain Raikkonen, his future for 2016 now appears to be in limbo.
Williams have a one-year option on the Finn, but have so far been coy on their driver line-up for next term.
"I think Williams is a great team to be with, and I'm confident they can be up there again in 2016," Bottas said.
"There's no reason why Williams shouldn't be able to be fight with Ferrari and Red Bull.
"I do admit we expected more from this year's car, particularly in the first part of the season and if you compare it with 2014, then we had a few more podiums at this time of the year than we have now.
"Having said that, we are still capable of improving and getting closer to Ferrari so I will be looking to secure more podiums in the second half of the season."
