Hamilton admits he was "too nice" to Bottas

Lewis Hamilton says he was "too nice" to Mercedes teammate Valtteri Bottas at the start of the Azerbaijan Grand Prix.

On the initial get away at the start of the race, Hamilton appeared to be alongside his teammate going into turns one and two but bailed out of a move for the lead.

Afterwards, Hamilton said he had been too kind in wheel-to-wheel combat with Bottas and admitted his weekend had been "under par".

“Definitely this is not our strongest race in the season,” he explained to media after the race.
