Lewis Hamilton's father believes that his son can end Formula One careers, sending a warning to new team mate Valtteri Bottas. Bottas will join the Silver Arrows, replacing retired world champion Nico Rosberg.
Bottas' deal at Mercedes is only for one year and Anthony Hamilton has said that the Finn will face Lewis at the peak of his career.

"Anybody who goes up against Lewis needs to have planned their career correctly because it could be a career-ending move when you go up against Lewis," Hamilton Snr told Sky Sports.
"I personally think, while he's getting older and more mature, he's still actually heading towards the prime of his career. So Lewis is going to be a force to be reckoned with this year."
Hamilton was beaten to the championship last season which marked only the second time that he had been outscored by a team mate over a whole season.
"Lewis only ever thinks about winning," he said. "He's happy for Nico, like we all are to be quite honest. We've known him a long time and Nico has really worked hard.
"You need a little bit luck along the way, and he's had that, but I think Lewis is just looking forward now to winning the championship back on his own merit."
