BUDAPEST, Hungary -- Valtteri Bottas admits it was painful to hear Mercedes boss Toto Wolff call him "a sensational wingman" for Lewis Hamilton after a frustrating Hungarian Grand Prix.
Hamilton led away from pole position, with Bottas able to hold off the Ferraris and keep second early on. Due to the threat of the Ferraris Bottas was brought in for his pit-stop early, meaning he spent the second half of the race holding off Hamilton's main title rival Sebastian Vettel.
He was able to do so until the final laps, by which point Hamilton had eased away for victory.
