Bottas starts from pole with Vettel second and Hamilton down in eighth after a five-place grid penalty.
Hamilton is 14 points behind Vettel in the championship.
But Hamilton said it “made no sense” for Bottas to ‘back up’ Vettel so he could catch up, adding: “It makes more sense for him to win the race.”

Bottas added: “From what I’ve seen on the pre-race strategy notes, that kind of plan is not on those notes.
“We need to focus on having a good start of the race and we need to win the race. And for sure Lewis can fight back from where he’s starting.”
