Laud Hamilton: 'Bottas is faster than most here'.

In 2020, the Mercedes duo has once again ensured that the team has become world champions. Lewis Hamilton leads the drivers' championship and is followed by his teammate Valtteri Bottas. All the focues and praise is on Hamilton, but he sees things differently and emphasises that Bottas is not getting the honour he deserves.

The fact that Hamilton is not already the champion this year is entirely up to Bottas. The Finn is currently 85 points behind the title leader and there is still a maximum of 104 points to be won. It is very unlikely that Bottas will pass Hamilton, but for the time being he is the only one keeping the title race alive.

To Ziggo Sport, Hamilton said: "Valtteri is not getting the credit he's due. He is doing a great job. He is an incredibly fast driver."

Hamilton continues: "I think he's better than most of the field here. I'm not just talking about how he drives, but more about his mental attitude and approach. Being a driver is not just about driving, it's not just about practice.
