H2H Explanatory Notes

SEASON WRAP

Lewis Hamilton’s clean sweep of Valtteri Bottas caps off an outstanding season for the 5x World Champion. While the scoreboard showed Hamilton leading Bottas 6-0 at mid-season their relative performance had actually been fairly close on a number of measures.  The second half of the season was a different story. Hamilton dominated Bottas and was not beaten on track once by the Finn for race result and only once in qualifying.

With the stats reset for the 2019 season and the Mercedes driver lineup unchanged Valtteri will be hoping for a better showing next year – especially with one E. Ocon waiting in the wings! Clearly though it will be tough to challenge one of the sports greatest ever drivers at the height of his powers.
