Hamilton: "Bottas would have let me through..."

Lewis Hamilton is dissatisfied. The seven-time world champion is used to having only to say something during his brightest years at Mercedes, and his teammate would immediately let him go. Scuderia Ferrari is a completely different ball game.

And Charles Leclerc is not Valtteri Bottas.

“We weren't as fast in Miami as we were before, yet overall I think I had a good weekend. This might not show in the results, but when I was in 12th place and then we switched to the medium tires, the car came alive immediately, and I took off in an instant. I thought we could catch up a lot, but I lost a lot of time behind Charles, even though I was clearly faster than him during that period. Previously, with Valtteri Bottas at Mercedes, it worked; if my pace was better, he would move aside to let me try to get ahead. If it didn't work, I would give the position back to him. Unfortunately, in this case, the decision came too late...” Hamilton stated in a divisive manner.
