A gallery of the highlights of the five years spent in Mercedes with Valtteri Bottas who will race with Alfa Romeo from next season and a long message: "You were the best companion I could work with": Lewis Hamilton wanted to greet the Finn in this way.
"I am immensely proud to have worked alongside Valtteri for the past 5 years. Together we have been part of a team that has captured 4 constructors' titles, motivating each other to push through thick and thin - Hamilton's words on Instagram - He is the best teammate I have had the pleasure of working with. You have shown great speed and resilience, but what most distinguished you are the person and the gentleman. You are bigger than you imagine and in front of you there is it's a bright future. Thank you Valtteri for all your support and fabulous contributions to this team. You will be missed. I wish you the best for your future challenges. We finish great and take eighth for the team. "
