• ‘I have given my hardest throughout the year,’ says Hamilton
Lewis Hamilton has insisted the use of team orders that ensured his win at the last round in Russia would not detract from a great sense of satisfaction should he go on to take the Formula One title.
Speaking before the Japanese Grand Prix, Hamilton said he was not comfortable with team orders but felt proud of how he had driven this season. His Mercedes teammate Valtteri Bottas confirmed he would support Hamilton again should it be required.
