Valtteri Bottas reveals what was ‘really impressive’ about Lewis Hamilton

Valtteri Bottas has raved about Lewis Hamilton for his ability to continue to improve every year during the pair’s time together at Mercedes. Bottas enjoyed a strong relationship with the seven-time world champion during five years in the German manufacturer’s set-up. The 32-year-old believes Hamilton’s ability to continue learning has driven his continued success.

“You know, with Lewis, what has been really impressive is that every year he’s been able to develop,” Bottas explained to the Formula 1 website.   “He’s got such a big experience in Formula 1 but still he’s been able to always learn more, become better and better.   “For sure, I’ve developed every year as a driver but so has Lewis, and it doesn’t come automatically. He works for it, because he knows that the competition always gets tougher.   “I’ve definitely learned many things from him, like driving-wise, set-up-wise, lots of small things here and there, but just it’s been impressive that he’s been able to still develop and not to get too comfortable, ever.   “He always wants more out of himself and the team around him, so that’s been the same thing every year – he keeps getting better.”
