Valtteri Bottas has hit back at Lewis Hamilton's father Anthony, who suggested that his son can end Formula 1 careers, sending a warning shot to the Finn. Bottas joins Mercedes for 2017 after four years at Williams.
Hamilton Snr said: "Anybody who goes up against Lewis needs to have planned their career correctly because it could be a career-ending move when you go up against Lewis."
When asked about the "career killer" jibe by the Finnish broadcaster MTV, Bottas commented: "Well, I wouldn't want to be my teammate, either. Let's wait and see. The season starts soon so we'll see how it goes," the 27-year-old reportedly smiled.
Bottas is signed to a one year contract at Mercedes, meaning he will have to prove himself quickly and let the team know they made the right choice in signing him.

this badmouthing against the teammates is kind of typical for Family Hamilton.
