🚨| Valtteri Bottas on Lewis Hamilton's season so far.
"It's been really impressive what he's done so far this year. He's got obviously great momentum, great confidence at the moment. At unique tracks like Monaco, he was really quick and made no mistakes at all. So yeah, it's good to see. I mean, he clearly made like a big step over the winter. I think he just gained that confidence in the car and in himself that he was lacking sometimes last year, which is natural. Yeah, very impressed, even a bit surprised."
"I think he's shown that he hasn't lost any of his ability to do great qualifying laps, great races. And yeah, maybe this year's cars suit him a bit better; or maybe it's the first car that has a bit more of his DNA in it. Those small things can make a big difference, because in the end, this sport is all about such fine margins. But yeah, it's good to see."
"[In 2025] It seemed like he was really hard on himself as well. So yeah, now he's more in his normal place and that's good to see. Every weekend he's challenged in a different way. And then with qualifying, especially, it's probably part of what he does best all year, right? He just keeps his cool. And it seems like every race he shows another level."
