F1 | Hamilton clarifies the controversy over Mercedes' data: "Zero problems with the team and with Bottas"

Lewis Hamilton had stated during a UBS event that he would not have wanted to share the data and telemetry of his Mercedes with his teammate, Bottas. The Englishman, however, raised a real fuss with these declarations. In fact, everyone accused him of being too selfish and not wanting to collaborate with his teammate. Hamilton wanted to clarify on his official account: “This is what I've been thinking since the first day I raced in Formula 1. Zero problems with my team, zero problems with Bottas”, he precised. “I've always thought this way, it's a general opinion on sport. It's not an attack on my team at all, no problem with Valtteri either."

I wish to clarify, I have not hit out at my team at all. My point on data sharing is solely my feelings about sport in general
