In a high-stakes sport such as Formula 1, real friendships are rare. In the past, we’ve seen teammates bust up due to the competitive dynamic of the sport. During the early years of Mercedes‘ domination in this sport, Hamilton and Nico Rosberg shared a glorious yet tumultuous history. In one such rare instance, the ex-teammate of Lewis Hamilton has displayed a PDA, and fans seem to love it.
After Rosberg left at the end of 2016 with one championship under his belt, Valtteri Bottas came into the picture. While the battle for the win was still intense between the duo of Bottas and Hamilton, the two came out of it unscathed. Rather, as it turns out, the duo really blossomed into an underrated bromance! A testament to this is a recent response from the 7x champion tweeted on Twitter to the Finnish driver.
