Valtteri Bottas believes his old team-mate Lewis Hamilton may be staying in Formula 1 so he can exact his revenge on Max Verstappen.
The Brit has made clear in the last couple of weeks his desire to continue racing beyond the expiry of his current contract at the end of next season. It most likely means Hamilton will still be in F1 beyond his 40th birthday, which represents a change of heart from his previous retirement plans.
Ahead of the Mexican Grand Prix at the end of last month, Hamilton confirmed explicitly that he plans to continue with Mercedes. The driver is expected to sit down with boss Toto Wolff for contract talks over the winter.
