The driver line-up of Lewis Hamilton and Valtteri Bottas has been one of the most iconic partnerships in Formula 1. The duo has been racing together since 2017 until Mercedes decided to part ways with the Finn international. Subsequently, the Silver Arrows brought in George Russell while Bottas moved to Alfa Romeo.

As the new season is already underway, both Lewis and Valtteri are in Australia representing their respective teams. As we all know, F1 is in Australia after two years as this race is special for the former Mercedes man. Interestingly, 2019 was the year F1 hosted its last race at Albert Park, where the new Alfa Romeo recruit triumphed.

After the FP1 got over, viaplay interviewed Bottas. We can see in the video how Lewis jokingly jumped in to push Valtteri by the side.
