F1 | Will Hamilton help Bottas? “If the team asks me, yes, but I want to win”

Lewis Hamilton faces the Brazilian GP with the same mentality always, the mentality winning that distinguishes the champions. And although the world championship has already been awarded, the new title winner wants to end the season with another two victories out of two. The British will fight for victory ma However, he opens the door to his teammate Valtteri Bottas, which aims to finish in second place and thus overtake Sebastian Vettel.

His desire to win remained unchanged: “Nothing has changed,” he said in an interview with the official Formula 1 website. “There are still two races. My mentality is the same, it would be normal to continue pushing for now. This is the best mentality to give your best, because there are still two victories to conquer,” commented the Englishman.

“I like racing here,” Hamilton continued. "It may seem strange. When you win the championship you can't breathe a sigh of relief. Nothing has changed. It's nice to hear 'Lewis Hamilton, four-time world champion', but I'm still a driver,” commented the Englishman. What if the team were to ask him to help Bottas? “I don't think they'll ask me. Valtteri wants to do it on merit, because he has worked very hard all year and is more focused than ever. So I know he wants to do it himself. But if the team asks me, then yes! As I said before, my mentality is to win the two GPs that remain,” concluded Hamilton.
