Four time world champion Alain Prost thinks that Valtteri Bottas has a good chance of beating Lewis Hamilton this season as they go head to head for the first time.
Bottas joins Mercedes on a one year deal, replacing retired world champion Nico Rosberg. With Mercedes hoping to produce another top performing car, Prost thinks that Bottas can spring a challenge to his new team mate.
"I think Valtteri has a good chance against Lewis," quadruple world champion Prost told the Finnish newspaper Ilta Sanomat.
"Mercedes' philosophy is such that there is no first or second driver, and from Valtteri's point of view that's good. For sure it's hard to beat Lewis because he's been at Mercedes for many years, but Valtteri at least has a chance, sure," he added.
