Felipe Massa has stated that former teammate Valtteri Botta must keep Lewis Hamilton under pressure at Mercedes or otherwise be forced into a number two role for the season ahead.
Bottas joined Mercedes at the start of the year, replacing Nico Rosberg who retired after winning the world championship. Since, Bottas has taken his first pole position and win in Formula 1, but Massa insists that the Finn needs to be consistently quick.
