Valtteri Bottas will not be told to move aside for Lewis Hamilton, says Toto Wolff
Valtteri Bottas gave way for Hamilton - running faster - to try and get at Vettel and Raikkonen in the Hungarian Grand Prix last July.
But Hamilton failed to do so and gave back the podium position on the final lap.
That came in the same race that Ferrari's Kimi Raikkonen was denied victory by Ferrari in order to allow Sebastian Vettel to build his advantage in the standings over Hamilton.
Yet with four-time world champion Hamilton and rival Vettel expected to be the front-runners again this year, Wolff says Bottas will not be his team-mate's number two and that the Mercedes duo will be given clearance to race competitively.
