Valtteri Bottas is happy with his teammate. The Mercedes driver says that Hamilton has made him better, but that he has also had to work harder on certain areas of lateral driving style.
In today's press conference, Bottas says that he has learned many things from Hamilton. "He makes me keep pushing myself to get better. In this sport it's all about the little details. It's the little things that can make a big difference. I'm always trying to become a better driver, and a human being. Having Lewis as a teammate is a great motivation and he pushes me to the limit and I certainly enjoy that".
"1000 Grand Prixs is impressive"
Later in the press conference, Bottas said the following about Ferrari's 1000th Grand Prix this weekend: "1000 Grand Prix's is an impressive number, they are a big part of history. I have no doubt that in the end they will be able to compete again for the fight at the top. They certainly learn from the mistakes they are making now".
"I've made a lap by bike on this new circuit to see what it looks like", concludes the Finn. "I was last here in 2012 for a test, so I have some experience here."
