S🌊peaking about Bottas and the time they spent together as teammates, H🐎amilton explained why the partnership worked so well.
“Valtteri was such a great teammate and colleague,” he said. “When I talk a🐎bout teammates… if people think about it, there is a conflict of interest in our sport.
"There are two champion൩ships - a team championship and a drivers’ championship. Our jo🔯b is to score the most points collectively for the team but, ultimately, you want to beat your teammate.

"So, there is always this interna𒅌l rivalry and it’s always a delicate path to walk down. It’s easy to be on the wrong side, to fall out. Valtteri and I never fell out. We also spoke about things.
"He was like: 🦩‘He has got to do a better job, or I’ve got to do a better job’. We had amazing years together where he supported me, I supporte🗹d him, and we still do. We travel to races together often throughout the year.”
