Lewis Hamilton and Valtteri Bottas think starting third might provide some advantage in Mexico, but they will “work as a team to try and hold one-two”.
Valtteri says he is “sure there could be a circumstance” where he can win the Mexican GP, but if not he will “support Lewis and get the maximum points”.
Valtteri Bottas says he is “not realistically in the championship anymore”, so he will “take one for the team” and “help Lewis with the points” if needed.
George Russell will join Mercedes in 2022, while Valtteri Bottas will move to Alfa Romeo. Toto Wolff explains what he expects to see from both drivers.
