No driver likes being asked to let his team mate past, but it’s something Valtteri Bottas dutifully did for Mercedes’ greater good in Sunday’s Spanish Grand Prix – even if he admitted he could have let him by sooner.

没有车手愿意在接到车队指令后，向队友交出位置，但这恰恰是博塔斯所面对的情况。尽职尽责的芬兰人在周日的西班牙大奖赛上，执行了这一指令——尽管他承认他本可以更早让出位置。

Bottas was told over team radio not to hold up eventual winner Hamilton, but initially appeared to resist those calls before ultimately the switch was made. Afterwards Bottas, who finished third, was asked if he'd let Hamilton by as early as possible.

车队通过无线电告诉博塔斯，他需要给汉密尔顿让车，后者最终也赢得了比赛。不过，芬兰人在完成位置交换前，多少显得对指令有些许抗拒。赛后，博塔斯自然被问及，自己是否应该尽早让汉密尔顿超过自己。

“No, I definitely didn’t let him by earlier," he responded, "but I was doing my own race as well. It’s always calculating things. I was trying to get Charles [Leclerc] off of the pit window so I could stop again and try to go for the extra point [for fastest lap]. So the main thing in my mind was my own race.

“不，我肯定没办法更早放他过去，”博塔斯回应说，“我毕竟还有自己的比赛要跑，这都是需要计算在内的。我在努力将夏尔（勒克莱尔）甩出进站窗口，这样我就可以再次进站换胎去拼最快圈速了。这也是比赛中我首要考虑的事。”

“There wasn’t too much [talk on team radio]. They told me not to hold him up too much, but like I say I was doing my own race, and I’m not here to let people by, I’m here to race, so that’s how it goes.”

“车队倒没在无线电里说太多，只是叫我不要过多阻挡他。不过就像我说的，我有自己的比赛要跑，我是来赛车不是专门来让车的，事情就是这样。”

Expanding on that thought in the press conference, Bottas added: “As a racing driver you prioritise yourself, your race, because that’s what you do. But also you work as a team so you don’t want to ruin the win for the team if it’s not possible for you. So I tried to do the best thing I could for us as a team and for myself.

赛后发布会上，博塔斯补充道：“作为车手，你需要把自己和你的比赛放在第一位，这是你应该做的。但同时作为车队的一员，你也不能拖累车队去赢得比赛，尤其在你自己获胜无望的情况下。我只有尽全力去做到同时忠于车队，忠于自己。”

For his part, Hamilton harboured no ill will towards his team mate for making things tougher for him, in part because he said he was unaware he was to be gifted the position.

另一边，汉密尔顿对此并没有什么“不好的想法”，虽然队友本可以更干脆得让过他。英国人表示他也不知道还有车队指令这回事。

“We’re the best team mates,” said Hamilton. “Honestly I didn’t know that he had a message, so in my mind I was like ‘we’re racing’ and that’s totally fine for me, particularly early on in this part of the season.

“我们是最佳拍档，”汉密尔顿说，“老实讲，我不知道他收到了指令。我只是觉得’我们在比赛’，我认为这完全没问题，尤其是现在赛季才开始。”

“This is how we win as a team. Sometimes we’re in that position where we have to put the team first. Getting second and third is good but getting first is obviously max points, and that’s key.”

“这场比赛展示了我们如何作为一支车队去取胜。有时我们的处境让我们不得不以车队为重。拿到第二第三固然不错，但拿到冠军才能赢得更多积分，这是关键。”
