Lewis Hamilton-“I Wont Be Doing Valtteri Bottas Any Favours”
Lewis Hamilton won in Sochi, after Valtteri Bottas was ordered to let him through earlier in the race to help guarantee that Lewis Hamilton won the championship. Lewis Hamilton has since clinched the title. However, he said that he is unlikely to give Valtteri Bottas a win back in the upcoming races and ruled out the possibility that the Mercedes’s team would instruct him to do so.
“I don’t think he needs that anyway, I think he can do it himself. So all I can do is try to make sure I’m supportive throughout the process, throughout the weekend. I’m always really open with my set-up so I’ll continue to do so”, said Lewis Hamilton
In the aftermath of the Formula One race back in September, the Brit had said that he would have “no problems” in giving Valtteri Bottas a win in return for their Sochi position swap. However, Hamilton seems to have turned on his word, making up excuses for doing so.
