Hamilton: Bottas the best teammate relationship I've had

Lewis Hamilton believes he and Valtteri Bottas have already developed a better working relationship than he has experienced with any previous teammate in Formula One.

Hamilton and Bottas spent their first official on-track sessions working together during the opening pre-season test at Barcelona last week, following the Finn's switch to Mercedes to replace retiring world champion Nico Rosberg. Despite having only been teammates for two months, and with the 2017 season yet to start, Hamilton reckons the pair already share a strong working relationship.

"I have learned that he makes his own entertainment," Hamilton told the official F1 website.
