In recent years, many have criticized Valtteri Bottas for taking second place at Mercedes behind / behind Lewis Hamilton, but the Finnish driver says the seven-time world champion is simply so good that he has been in such a position. As he said, they helped each other when needed.

However, on several occasions he had to copy my settings to the qualification at the last minute. he finds the way to stretch his stage or keep the tires alive. That was the biggest difference between us and Lewis’ balance, “GPFans quotes Bottas as saying.
“I was in a position to get to know Lewis humanly, not only as an F1 champion and it became clear to me that he deserves everything he achieves. He has talent, but he also uses it perfectly and works extremely hard. Obviously his lifestyle is different, say New He’s in York the day before his race weekend and is doing other things, but as soon as he turns on the way he works, he moves every stone and drives the team very hard, ”the Finn explained.
“He’s been more in the lead for the last couple of years and it was obviously harder for me to start with, because he was obviously there first and quite the way he works with the team,” he added.
