Lewis Hamilton and Valtteri Bottas were two iconic names in the Mercedes garage for the last few years. The duo shared many brilliant battles as well as funny moments when they were teammates with the Silver Arrows. One such incident was during an interview when the Finn surprised the Briton with his knowledge.

The interview starts with Hamilton asking Bottas, “What’s the most ridiculous fact you know?”, to which the current Alfa Romeo driver answers something that cracked up Hamilton.

Bottas replies, “Like I know, exactly by millimeters of the average p**is size of a beaver!”

The seven-time world champion continued laughing and asked again, “What is that? Why would you know that?” To which the Finn further stated, “I think it was 30 millimeters on average of a European Beaver. [A rodent]”

When I was googling those things, I was afraid that I’m gonna get arrested or something!” concluded the former Mercedes driver.

“Oh, sh*t! That was a good one,” Hamilton asserted, as they both continued laughing.

How did Valtteri Bottas fare in Mercedes against Lewis Hamilton?

Valtteri Bottas joined the former McLaren driver as his teammate in 2017 to replace the outgoing Nico Rosberg. Rosberg, who won the 2016 F1 driver’s championship, decided to retire and hence paved the way for Mercedes to find a new driver to partner with the Briton.
