“Bottas certainly didn’t always have it easy in the five years at Hamilton’s side. But I’m also sure that he was always treated fairly at Mercedes. “
Bottas was brutally honest in assessing his time at Mercedes, admitting that it was a difficult job to compete with Hamilton.
“To be honest, I have the feeling that on my best days, regardless of whether it is a race or qualifying, I am unbeatable,” said Bottas.
“But unfortunately I don’t always have the best days. I cannot say that I have exceeded everything.
“Of course, when I feel like I’ve failed, I didn’t manage to win the drivers’ championship. But it wasn’t easy on Lewis’ side. He always got the upper hand. “
